This document provides instruction on teaching the difference between blends and digraphs using sound cards, including welded sounds like "ang" and consonant digraphs like "ch". It covers teaching concepts for reading and spelling through wordcards, wordlists, sentences, and a quick drill. The goal is for students to learn to read and spell words containing blends and digraphs.
4. Welded Sounds
• Welded sounds are green sound cards.
• The three letters have individual sounds,
but they are welded together and difficult
to separate
• To tap this out, use three fingers tapping
together at the same time.
14. digraphs
Consonants ‘stick together’ to form one
sound, even though there are two letters.
That is why they are on one card. They
are not separated.
15. Chicken
qu
Letter
Q is the chicken letter- it refuses to go anywhere without its
friend, u. It is never in a word alone. The u in this situation
has no vowel sound. Qu is a digraph as well.
22. Blends VS Digraphs
• Ship gets 3 taps
• Slip gets four sounds because s and l
have their own sound. That is why s and l
have their own cards.
• These sounds can be pulled apart but the
consonants blend together nicely.
