Cut out the boxes to where there is an opening in the middle. (Note: you can also laminate the boxes so that there is a clear opening in the middle.) The longer boxes are for digraph blends and the smaller boxes are for beginning and final blends. 2. Place the game board in front of your student, along with the cut out boxes. 3. Have your student locate and box the blend in each word, then have him/her read and tap out each word. 4. For every blend your student recognizes and boxes correctly and for every word he/she reads correctly, he/she gets one point. 5. Total up the number of points your student gets and match it to the score sheet. 6. Then have your student place a sticker in the correct spot. Extra ways to play: 1. You can call out a specific blend and have your student locate all the words containing that blend. (For example: Find all the words containing the beginning blend bl and box the blend.) 2. You can time the activity and see how many blends your student can correctly identify. Then you can go back after time is called and have your student tap out each word.
