Blending Calender Level 1 - CVC

Crafted as a spiral-bound, flip-style phonics tool, the Blending Calendar Level 1 (CVC) is designed for durability and repeated classroom use. Rotating sound panels form simple CVC words such as cat, sun, and pig — letting learners flip, blend, and substitute sounds. It strengthens letter-sound relationships, phonemic awareness, decoding fluency, and core reading skills. Ideal for PP2 learners building early reading confidence.

LKG (PP2) | Ages 4–5

Phonemic awareness, Blending (synthesizing sounds), Segmenting (onset, vowel, rime), Visual discrimination of graphemes, Phonological processing, Decoding fluency, Auditory discrimination of middle vowel sounds, Fine motor coordination, Left-to-right directionality, Word attack skills, Letter-sound automaticity, Spelling confidence, Vocabulary expansion, Cognitive flexibility

Builds the synthetic phonics foundation through hands-on flipping — turning grapheme–phoneme correspondence into a visible, manipulable structure that supports the Simple View of Reading.

1. Flip & Blend – Set the panels to a CVC word; learners say each sound and blend to read. Builds blending and decoding.

2. Change One Sound – Flip just one panel and read the new word. Develops cognitive flexibility and segmenting.

3. Word Race – Flip rapidly; learners read each word at speed. Strengthens automaticity.

4. Make My Word – Teacher says a CVC word; learners flip the panels to build it. Reinforces encoding.

5. Vowel Focus – Keep consonants fixed and rotate only the middle vowel. Sharpens auditory discrimination of vowels."
