How to Assess Blending (Step by Step)

Many parents think that once their child knows their sounds, they’ll be able to read. So they buy a bunch of books, show them to their kid and tell them to “sound it out.” But the truth is: your child isn't going to be able to read until they know how to BLEND. And they're not going to be able to blend WELL until you figure out where they are now, and what to work on with them next! In this video, I break it down for you!

Dude this is great. Third grade teacher here. I have about a fourth of my class coming in as struggling readers. This is going to help me categorize my reading groups accordingly and hopefully gradually progress . Appreciate the help.

Do you have a video where I can re-teach my 5th grade child phonics. Pandemic really affected her moving forward and when completing state testing she continues to score as a second grader and she is in 5th grade

[@toddlerscanread]

The same steps work for older children- its about finding where they are missing skills and addressing them from there. If you want more support check out my free workshop! www.toddlersread.com/free-workshop

So before I found your IG page, my 4 year old knew his letter sounds and i had just started trying to have him blend two letter words visually. Then I watched your free videos so I started I’ve been trying to do it orally. It’s been a few months now and I feel like we aren’t making much improvement. I’ve tried continuous sound for the beginning letter and a bunch of other techniques I’ve seen online. I’m not sure if there’s something I’m still doing wrong or if I just need to keep going. Is there a point to where a lot of time has gone by and we are still in the same spot? I hope that made sense 🥴

[@toddlerscanread]

Hey Sarah! Yes so this does happen sometimes. Usually, there's a specific reason why it happens though and it's often something really small that we're doing (or not doing) when we're teaching them that we're just not aware is holding them back. It's kind of hard to explain without a video but I have parents who are taking my course send me their practice videos when this happens so I can watch it for them to find that "small thing" that's going on to prevent the child from understanding. I know that's not super helpful for you if you're not taking the courses, but hopefully it's encouraging for you that you're not alone and there likely is something that you can be doing to help them.

[@malihasaleem3744]

where is the list? cant find

[@toddlerscanread]

I just added it to the video description! Check the link!
