A phoneme manipulation deck for junior readers focused on adding sounds to build new words. Students listen closely, change the sound and say the new word.
Strengthen phonemic awareness with this engaging Kite & Bloom Sound Studio resource for junior readers! The deck begins with a short mini lesson explaining why phoneme manipulation matters, helping students understand how working with sounds supports decoding, spelling, sound patterns, and flexible reading.
Students then work through 10 interactive “Add It On” slides, listening to a word and adding a sound at the beginning or end to create a new word. Examples include ash + /c/ → cash, lane + /p/ → plane, and care + /d/ → cared.
Perfect for junior whole-class literacy instruction, small groups, intervention, literacy centres, or daily phonemic awareness practice.
