About this worksheet

What students practice

Students blend spoken onsets and rimes to identify one-syllable picture words.
Students segment one-syllable picture words into an onset and a rime.
Students keep beginning consonant blends together when separating onset from rime.

How to use

Name every picture for children first. Read all prompts and sound choices aloud; say sounds, not letter names. Explain that the first chunk includes all sounds before the vowel, and the tail begins with the vowel. Children need not read the printed sound chunks.
