A board game to practice decoding words with an r-blend.

Use this fun board game as a way for students to practice decoding words with an r-blend.

Students will make their way around the Bump! game board reading words that have an r-blend. This game can be played using the dot cards included with the download or simply using a number cube – the choice is up to you!

Blending and Segmenting

This game is a fabulous resource to reinforce the skill of blending phonemes!

Blending (combining sounds) and segmenting (separating sounds) are skills that are necessary for learning to read. In order to blend and segment successfully, students first need a lot of phonological awareness practice. Developing a child’s phonological awareness is an important part of developing a reader.

If using this game as a reading center activity without supervision, students will need to monitor each others’ answers carefully, making sure the sounds are blended properly.
