Once they are given instructions, children can readily work on the sheets without assistance; nevertheless, for the most benefit, it is strongly advised that an adult work with special needs children. It is necessary to introduce the idea of early blends in detail. Upon working with kids, particularly those who have special needs, my first preference is to teach them how to blend two consonant letters. Next, I focus on enhancing the children’s phonemic awareness, which is the capacity to distinguish each blend of consonants at the beginning of a word. Some students find this challenging, and it requires a lot of practice. The purpose of these worksheets is to help students hear the blend at the beginning of a word by first encouraging them to blend the two consonant letters. Encourage the children to blend the letters in each initial blend by practicing as often as you can. Modeling, in my opinion, is essential.

This is a pack of 46 phonic worksheets to teach ‘OO’ as in moon and OO as in book.
