Double consonants can be very tricky to master. It is easy for children to forget that there are double letters as they only hear one sound. Use household items to spot double letters hiding in words. 

Consonant blends appear at the beginning of words and consist of 2 consonants whose phonetic sounds blend together to create one sound. Teaching consonant blends can be tricky!

Acrostic poems are a fun way to introduce children to the concept of poetry. Finding a word that starts with each letter of the theme word encourages initial sounds recognition.
