Scaffolding + Extension Tips 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your phonics lessons. 

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity as a guided reading group, whole-class, or remote learning assignment.

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Provide read-aloud assistance if needed.

 Pre-teach R-blends and work through similar spelling activities before independent work.

Additionally, students can work with a partner to complete the task.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Have students select words from the sort and write sentences to make a story. If students aren’t quite ready for sentence writing, they can write lists of other R-blend words.
