Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Teach blending using a game
Blend letters to form syllables
*
Write the individual letters, a consonant and a vowel. Point to each letter slowly and the learners say its sound. Then move your finger slowly under the two sounds, blending the sound together to form a syllable. Say the whole syllable slowly and ask pupils to repeat.
Practice this with learners the whole week.
*
Another strategy you can use is Pupils Blending.
Two pupils hold individual letter cards separately
They move towards each other slowly until they stand
close and put their letters together to read a syllable.
