To use these cards: print on cardstock, laminate, and cut out. Keep each set separate in baggies or small envelopes. Have the child take Set 1 and place the cards in a row across the top of a rug or table. Using the movable alphabet, have them put out 3 (or 4) sets of the ending sound. For example, in Set 1 they would put the letters “ink” (from the movable alphabet) three times underneath the “ink” card. Then challenge them to think of a beginning sound that would make a word. So, for “ink” they might add a “dr”, “th”, and “p” to each set of “ink” letters. Have them continue until they’ve thought of words for each ending blend in the set. Then have them pick one set of words to write on their paper. Please note: this PDF is copyrighted by Montessori for Everyone and is free for per-sonal use only.
