Kindergarten Reading & Language Arts — Reading God's Word — Phonics and Bible Stories
Students will practice blending consonant and vowel sounds to read simple three-letter words.
Now that you know vowels and consonants, let's put sounds together to make words! This is called blending.
Let's try! Say 'ccc' then 'aaa' then 'ttt' — now put them together fast: cat! You just read a word! God is helping you learn to read!
Let's try more: d-o-g is dog! S-u-n is sun! G-o-d is God! M-o-m is Mom! D-a-d is Dad!
When you blend sounds together, you are reading! Soon you will be able to read words from the Bible all by yourself!
Use letter cards or write letters on paper. Practice blending these words: cat, dog, sun, God, hat, red, big, run. Point to each letter, say its sound, then blend them together to read the word!
