- Develops concentration and independent work habits
🎯 How to Use
- Present one blend group at a time on a tray, starting with two or three sets
- Introduce each word using a three period lesson: name the object, ask the child to find it, then ask the child to recall the name
- Once the child is confident with the picture and word cards, introduce the picture only and word only cards for independent matching
- Use the color coded blend letters to draw attention to the consonant cluster before the child reads the full word
🎓 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Introduce these after the child has mastered the Pink Series (CVC words). The Blue Series adds complexity by keeping short vowels but introducing four or more letter words with consonant blends. Start with blends that are most visually distinct from each other, such as "st" and "fl," before moving to similar sounding pairs like "cl" and "cr."
