S blends foldable matching activity beginning sounds Kindergarten First Grade

A fun cut and paste phonics activity for early readers at home or school. This matching resource looks at 7 consonant blends - sc, sk, sm, sn, sp, st, and sw (at the beginning of words).

Use for the printables for kindergarten/first grade literacy centers and in interactive notebooks, or as a fun alternative to worksheets.

In addition to learning about or reviewing consonant blends, children will also be practicing their fine motor/scissor skills and their hand-eye coordination.

The templates

Firstly students will color the letters and pictures. Next, they’ll cut out the 4 words and match them to each picture before sticking them down. Students will then cut around the outside of the template before folding along the vertical lines. A great way to practice scissor skills as well as reading!

The foldout can then be closed to show just the blend letters, then carefully opened to reveal what’s inside.

Some children may require extra adult support with cutting or folding.

This resource also contains written instructions and a picture showing how to fold. US and UK versions included.
