Description: Do your older students need practice with initial consonant blends but don't want babyish activities? Then this deck is for you! The drag & spell tiles mimic those used in many Orton-Gillingham programs, and they're great for building both phonics knowledge and phonemic awareness. Real pictures ensure that the activity doesn't seem too young for older students. How it Works: Students see a picture and click to hear the word pronounced. Then they drag letter tiles into boxes to spell the word. Good to Know: • All the words contain beginning consonant blends, but some also have digraphs (sh, th). If your students aren't ready for this you can simply hide these cards. • All words are one-syllable with short vowel sounds, and they all contain four phonemes. Blends include br, cr, dr, gr, fr, tr; bl, cl, fl, pl; sc, sl, sm, sn, sp, tw.
