Letters and Sounds Phonics Phase 1 Aspect 7-oral blending BINGO A great game to practice oral blending and help prepare your students for early reading. This is a modified version of BINGO with a focus on oral blending. *To extend learning for children who need to focus on oral segmenting you could adapt this to be played in pairs. One of the children can have the BINGO scene card and the other can pull out the teacher call cards and orally segment the words for their partner to find!

Many children struggle to blend and segment accurately in Phase 2 and 3. One of the reasons for this could be attributed to the lack of exposure to high quality Phase 1 activities. Teachers and TAs feedback that it can be difficult to create activities to help develop ‘oral segmenting’ or ‘sound talk’. Look no further than this easy I have…who has? oral segmenting activity to be played with a small group of 6-12 children. This could be used during intervention or small group work with either the Teacher or the TA. Letter and Sounds Phase 1 Aspect 7 Oral Segmenting
