Blending compound words is an essential literacy skill for students with disabilities, which can greatly improve their understanding of phonemic and print awareness! This set includes 95 worksheets, in 3 different styles to provide repetition with variety to help learners develop this ability to blend words.  Step 1: Read The teacher or instructor reads out the two words slowly, guiding the learner in repeating the word either in their head or out loud while combining the two words together. Step 2: Blend After they have blended the word, they can then proudly circle the correct picture. (feature pictures include both individual words along with the blended compound word.)

This means that they can read more smoothly and with greater comprehension (Wolf & Katzir-Cohen, 2001).
