More Blending Practice for Early Readers

Excel Early Skills English Book 9 Reading with Sounds 2 gives children who already know their letters and sounds further practice turning sounds into whole words.

Following on from Book 8, Hunter Calder's second Reading with Sounds title keeps children blending simple single-letter sounds into meaningful words. It then asks them to pick the correct word from a list of words with the same endings and patterns, and to write whole words to match pictures. It suits Foundation, K-Prep and Year 1 learners aged 5-6.

The double-page format means a child spends time on one skill and repeats it until it feels secure. Clear page design and short explanations written for both adult and child keep sessions calm and simple to run, at the kitchen table or in a small reading group.

Find more home-learning titles like this in our educational books range, browse the wider educational activity books collection, and add the pencils and writing supplies young learners need from our educational supplies section for a complete early learning kit.
