Opening your practice adventure…
Try a sample
Blend these letters using their short-vowel sounds: b · e · d. Which word do they make?
- bet
- bid
- bed
- bad
See the answer & why
bed
Blend b · e · d to read bed. Say the word naturally after blending.
A little hint: Say each short-vowel sound, then slide the sounds together to make a word.
A teaching tip
Model each known letter–sound connection, then blend. A grown-up can read the instructions; avoid guessing a word from a picture.
