Dab and Blend Level 6 sample page

Blending is the hard step. A dot for every sound makes it something a child can touch.

Many children know their letter sounds and still cannot join them into a word. Dabbing one dot for each sound slows the word down, and saying the sounds faster each time turns them into the word. Every word here can be sounded out with the letter sounds your child has already been taught.
