Blends, digraphs, and early long-vowel patterns for first grade.
Practice these exact words free with games on SpellKido
Start SpellKido freeFirst graders focus on blending sounds like sh, ch, and th, plus long vowel teams like ai, ee, and oa — the building blocks for reading fluency.
Practice in short bursts and connect words to pictures or actions. Games that repeat the same pattern (like all the -ai words together) help patterns stick faster than random lists.
