Digital Phonics Instruction – Skill Building for S-Blends

Do you have students that are struggling with the S-blends (sn, sp, sw, sc, sh, sk, sl)? Are your students still trying to sound out the beginning and ending consonant sounds? This activity will help students use the S-blends in words to help them truly grasp how they are spelled.

This S-blends Interactive Google Slides activity is an engaging, fun way to practice using the correct S-blends (sl, sk, sm, sn, sp, st, sw, and sc) to spell different words. Students are given an image stimulus and must drag and drop the correct blend to build the word. Then students will type the word as well. 

The resource contains 20 S-blend word slides.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your phonics lessons

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity to enhance learning through guided reading groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments. 

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners and ELL/ESL students, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Provide students with one to one assistance if possible.

Allow students to reference a sound wall or anchor chart to assist with identifying the sounds of the different blends.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Encourage fast finishers to write sentences with the blends, or identify other words that contain the same sounds.

🧑‍🏫 Group Learning

Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks or mini whiteboards.
