Continuous Blending Decodable Passages with CVC short vowel words

Item description

Do your students have trouble learning to decode words? After saying each sound do they say a word that starts with the last sound of a word? For example, /p/i/g/=get, /j/a/m/=man. This has to do with working memory. Teaching students to use the continuous blending strategy helps students to hear the word they are trying to sound out and blend. You model this strategy and show them how to “sing the words” by holding out the continuous consonants and the short vowel while adding the clipped consonant sounds. You will be amazed at how well this helps student to begin to read!! These passages are a great addition to the Continuous Blending Practice Cards for Short Vowels. Students can practice reading these words in context and also have an added comprehension check by utilizing drawing a picture to include the details from the decodable passage.

These decodable passages with continuous blending coding:

• help the teacher model this blending strategy
• provides a visual “dot” so the student knows to hold or clip the sound
• are color coded by each short vowel for easy use with different groups
• include cards for each short vowel
• includes cards with some digraphs (th, ch, sh, ck)
• includes some double consonants (floss rule: ll, ss, zz)
• can be used along with the Continuous Blending Cards
• Can be used for small group practice, sent home for reading practice, or used to review and build fluency when decoding
• can be used for progress monitoring or for intervention during small groups

Just print, laminate, and start using with your student to see the reading magic happen!! Look at my store CRAZY N CLASS to see other similar resources!

These can be used with a large range of students–for CVC words with Kindergarten and First Grade students. These are great for the most struggling learners and even great of Sped or students with specific learning disabilities such as dyslexia.
