CVCC - nd endings - wordsearches
Three wordseaches to help consolidate fluency when reading CVCC words.
All of the words in my wordseaches read ‘Left to Right’, as you would find in a book. None of the words will be diagonal, backwards or vertical.
Strictly speaking, ‘nd’ is a ‘consonant blend’ or ‘consonant cluster’. This is where two or three consonants appear in a syllable without being separated by vowels, and they are usually found at the end of words. More traditional phonics programmes require learners to ‘learn’ a blend much in the same way as they would a single grapheme. However, this strategy puts a burden on working memory, and effectively means that learners have to learn a much greater number of letter-sound correspondances.
This resource targets ‘nd’ ending words. However, learners should be taught to decode and blend each letter-sound correspondance in the word.
