Introduction
A strong knowledge of letter-sound relationships significantly improves children's word recognition, spelling and reading comprehension.
Phonics instruction helps children learn the relationships between the letters of written language and the sounds of spoken language. To be effective, the teaching of phonic elements needs to be combined with "ample opportunities for children to apply what they are learning about letters and sounds to the reading of words, sentences and stories." [Put Reading First, CIERA, 2003.]
Developing a strong knowledge of the many common two-letter blends will add a large number of words to a child's reading and writing vocabulary. Once a letter combination is highlighted and taught in an instructional setting, children need to read and write words, sentences and texts that put this knowledge to use. The Funny Photo Blends Set allows children to consolidate their learning by reading a story full of words using the blends and letter combinations they are learning.
The Funny Photo series brings real fun back into early phonics reading books. These books are full of wildly inventive illustrations using manipulated photographs. At the same time these books provide plenty of opportunity to practise specific letter combinations and word groups.
The activities in the Funny Photo Phonics Blends Set 2 Teaching Guide reinforce the most common blends and early letter combinations and focus on student writing as well as word recognition. There are many playful word family activities and games included that help build automaticity and enhance reading fluency.
The components in the Funny Photo Phonics Set 2 Blends are:

Once children have learnt to read 3-letter, short vowel words (Funny Photo Phonics Set 1), adding blends to the mix creates a long list of words that they can read. Word families are an efficient way to increase reading and writing skills. The 37 most common word endings, or rimes as they are also known, appear in more than 500 words. Research into early reading (Goswani and Bryant, 1990) showed that students used analogy to read and spell unknown words: knowing track helps them to be able to read black. The brain is a pattern detector and letter patterns in words are strongly linked to rhyming activities, spelling skills and learning to read lots of words quickly.

Activities
Grab a game
The following games can be played throughout the year. Most can be played in pairs. Introduce each game to students and then invite them to play when they have finished an activity early or during indoor play times.
Before you begin
Each of these games refers to the game boards that can be found on pages 9 to 21. Make
multiple copies of each one. Have students colour them and then have each game board laminated. This will ensure they can be used time and time again. Some of the boards need to be copied a second time, laminated and then the individual squares cut out to make game pieces. Game board 9 must be joined.
Once students have been shown how to play a game, the game boards and pieces can be stored in a zip lock bag or other suitable place.
This goes
on that
You will need: ? game boards 4, 5, 6, 7
NB: The squares on game boards 5 and 7 need to be cut into individual cards.
This game can be played individually or in pairs. Each player has a board and a set of picture cards. They place the cards face down. They turn a card over and match the picture to its blend. The picture cards are placed on top of the blends until all blends are covered. If playing with a partner, students take turns to have a go.
I'm thinking of a word that starts
with...
You will need: ? game boards 5, 7
NB: The squares on game boards 5 and 7 need to be cut into individual cards.
This game can be played in pairs or small groups. Students spread the picture cards onthe ground in front of them. One student says `I'm thinking of a word that starts with/ends with __ .' They say the blend that the word starts or ends with. The remaining students guess the word.
