Blend it What to do This activity will help your child to read different blends and recognise them in words. What to do: Either print or write out different blends into the base of the tray. Get a die and whiteboard marker pen. Roll the die into the tray and see where it lands. Read the blend that the die has landed next to. Can you think of a word that has that blend in too? e.g ‘gr’ a word to match it would be ‘grow’.
