Blends Bootcamp: Teaching Blends And Digraphs

TKS Bootcamp's Blends Bootcamp is designed to introduce and practice reading, building, and writing words with beginning blends. Students will gain hands on experience with 21 different blends. This resource is designed for whole group and small group instruction and includes centers for individual practice.

I'd like a kindergartener again in Mr. Greg's class as makes kindergarten learning FUN

[@corinunley4753]

The child said the blend sound correctly first...not "plaa" BUT like the child said, "pl"

[@markdanbury7322]

I love this lesson. Glad I am not the only one that has to repreat myself

[@arlinethompson4753]

I love that they are shouting out the answers and still sitting. It shows they love blend bootcamp. You're an awesome teacher. Once you teach it how do you have them practice the blends?

[@gregsmedley]

Yes

[@arlinethompson4753]

I love this lesson!

[@abigailswingle9005]

It's /pl/ like the first kiddo says, not /pluh/ like the teacher says. It's important to be precise and teach kids to "clip" the blend, not add the schwa sound at the end.

[@gregsmedley]

Abigail Swingle it’s also important to remember that this is A REAL LIFE CLASSROOM AND A HUMAN who sometimes makes mistakes. Notice the kids are saying the correct sound which means they’ve been taught the correct sound. We’re all entitled to slip up once in a while.

Gloria Wieand welcome to a real life classroom where the teacher isn’t perfect. Sometimes we slip up and make mistakes and THAT’S OK! Have a great day!

[@christinastenstrom1784]

Yes as a teacher of over 10 years it is pl not pluh.

[@abcmoonsweeti5234]

YES! Thank you for pointing this out. Those that are watching this video in order to learn how to teach a child to read need to know this. It may be beneficial if Greg could make a note of this extremely common mistake in the description. 🙂

[@corinunley4753]

Just saw this!

[@alexispeters5851]

Would like to no the age of the children he's teaching

[@marissaa74]

Would guess 1st or 2nd grade

[@THomasJPeel]

Kindergarten!

[@hannahblackmon8904]

Pl does not say "plu." You are adding a vowel sound at the end. For example I would not say "plu"ane... plane.

I’m a human and sometimes I’m not perfect. It happens to us all.
