Why get the bundle
- S blends are easy to clip. The bundle offers more formats and an assessment so children keep the s in place.
The problem
Scarf, school, scale: the sk sound has more than one spelling
S blends start with a hissing s and then a second sound. Children often drop the s, or add a vowel so 'school' becomes 'suh-cool'.
Dropped s
'School' becomes 'cool' and 'scale' becomes 'kale'. The s is easy to lose.
sc says /sk/
Scarf, school and scale spell /sk/ with sc, not sk. Children who expect sk may stumble.
Added vowel
Children say 'suh-carf'. The s should link straight into the next sound.
Only S blends appear, such as sc, sk, sl, sm, sn, sp, st, sw. Children read words like scarf, school and scale with the s kept in front.

Questions
Before you buy.
Why do scarf and school start with sc?
The letters sc often say /sk/. Children learn that it's a spelling pattern, not two separate sounds.
Is st in this family?
Yes, along with sp, sm, sn and others. They share one hissing s at the front.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 8 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
What if it isn’t right for us?
