OK, this is where the blue series seems to explode as my folders reccommend that blue box four contains triple blends, double consonants and consonant digraphs. In a nursery you could have any number of 'box fours' on the shelf but at home that isn't practical so I am mulling over solutions to this to have on my daughter's literacy shelf! Box four has pictures and words to read and match to them, taking the child a further step towards the abstract.
From the top then, I will tackle consonant digraphs first, followed by double consonants and rounded up with triple blends!

If you want some kind of grouping system, you could try all the "r" blends like
ReplyDeletebr,cr,dr,fr,gr,pr,tr
then "l" blends like
bl,cl,fl,gl,pl,sl,
and so on
