The complete question
I have a student who has trouble blending phonemes. Any suggestions?
Expert answer
Mastering phonemes is the gateway to reading. Though some children begin recognizing sound-symbol patterns just through exposure to books, many children need direct instruction in this area. Take a look at the following reources:

- Onset-Rime Games
