Thereby giving plenty of scope for differentiation. Fully differentiated, they meet the real needs of the average class and are fully systematic: no words are introduced for which the student has not yet learned the necessary skills to decode. They provide ample practice for students in both reading and spelling. Suitable for use with other schemes as long as you make sure that your children know the sounds necessary to complete the sheet.

These structured worksheets take the pupil through the following stages: Hear the L Blend in familiar words (to familiarise the child with the sound) Write the L Blend (writing adds a multisensory dimension so needed by these pupils) Sort words by initial consonant (hearing and writing) Decoding words with initial L-Blends Writing/spelling words with the initial L-Blend Reading sentences containing initial L-Blend words Reading longer passages containing initial L-Blend words Suitable for use with any recognised phonic programme, inc RWI, and Letters and Sounds.
