Blend onset and rime together to make a word
Pre-K learners practice blending onset and rime — the beginning consonant or consonant cluster and the vowel-plus-ending chunk — to form complete words, a key phonological awareness skill in the Blending and segmenting substrand. Teachers can use this worksheet during phonological awareness instruction to give students structured practice with the onset-rime unit, which bridges syllable awareness and full phoneme blending. Onset-rime blending is a reliable predictor of early decoding skill.
Learning objectives
- Blend a spoken onset and rime together to produce a complete word
