Press the Help button a second time to have the answer identified. How Can You Help? • You can help your child think of words that start with the blends that he or she is exposed to in this activity. Have your child see how many words he or she can come up with. Make a list of all of the blends that your child learned from this activity. • Have your child create sentences using blend words. Encourage your child to use more than one blend word in a sentence. He or she may wish to use a different color when writing the blend word. • Create puzzle pictures with blends. Have your child write a word with a blend on an index card, leaving room on one half of the card for an illustration to go along with the word. Next, your child could draw a squiggly line to divide the blend word and the picture. Then he or she should cut on the line. Continue with about 9 more words. Mix all of the cards up, and try to match the illustrations to the words. Every time your child makes a match, he or she should say the word and tell what the blend is in the word.
