A phoneme manipulation deck for junior readers where students work out which new word a sound change creates.
Strengthen phonemic awareness with this engaging Kite & Bloom Sound Studio resource designed for junior readers! The deck begins with a short mini lesson explaining why sound manipulation matters, helping students understand how changing sounds supports decoding, spelling, word recognition, and flexible reading.
Students then work through 10 interactive “Which New Word?” practice slides, changing a sound or sound blend in a word and choosing the new word that matches. Activities include examples such as changing /ch/ in chop to /sh/, /kr/ in crate to /pl/, and vowel sounds in words like cap, pen, and hop.
Perfect for junior literacy instruction, small groups, intervention, centres, or a quick daily phonemic awareness routine.
