use short vowels, common long vowels, consonant blends and digraphs to write words, and blend these to read one- and two-syllable words

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• using knowledge of letters and sounds to write words with short vowels; for example, “man”, and common long vowel sounds; for example, “time”
• using knowledge of letter sounds to write single-syllable words with consonant digraphs and consonant blends; for example, “wish” and “rest”
