This resource relates to onset and rime word families. Aimed at: Reception Class/KS1, SEN and ESL/EFL Students. <strong>Product Content:</strong> Onset and Rime PowerPoint Presentation with animation Recording worksheet Hexagon shape card – laminate and cut out Onset card divided into three sections for onset and rime activities - laminate This presentation is an introduction to onset and rime presented in a way that children understand the concept and consolidate their knowledge by carrying out practical activities and recording their work on a worksheet or into their workbooks. I find this resource very useful, especially in smaller group settings. There are so many onset and rime word families. I have used the easier ones in the presentation. To make this resource flexible and ‘hands-on’, I have made an onset card which you can laminate. Once I laminated the card, I dabbed the letters with a dry erase pen on the onsets I wanted children to use to make onset and rime families. So there is an opportunity to differentiate the tasks. I have also made a hexagon shape rime card. Just laminate and write the rime you want the children to use together with the Onset Card. You can differentiate the activities by choosing the rimes you want the more advance groups to use and easier rimes for the groups that find blending onset and rime challenging. Dabbing the onsets you want some children to use with the rimes makes it easier for them to build word families. Hope you enjoy using this resource. Thank you for your interest:-)
