Every word starts with two adjacent consonants and is decodable with single letter-sounds; students say every sound rather than learning the pair as a unit. Each Trace and Blend page works on one blend (page 3 sl-, page 4 sn-, page 5 fl-); the writing pages mix the three, so students segment every word afresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet 1 of 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Set 1 begins with blends built from continuous sounds (s, l, n, f), which are the easiest to hear and segment.

In Trace and Blend, students read the letters and blend \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e they look at the picture; the picture confirms the word rather than giving it away.
