How can I get everyone blending?

Through whole-class and repeated practice.

Repeated practice beyond the lesson helps children move new learning into their long-term memory.

Timetable

• Do a whole-class blending blast. (Watch ‘Phase 2 blending blast’.) Use the Phase 2 additional blending practice or repeat the teacher-led blending section of that day’s lesson.
• Include incidental oral blending throughout the day. (Download and read the ‘Oral blending in provision’ guidance and watch the video.)
• Include repeated practice five times a day. (Download and read ‘Providing repeated practice: Practice throughout the day’.)
