This
book has 41 blends, where letters keep their individual
sounds when placed together.
Three important concepts come into play here: that
written letters in pairs and groups need to be seen with a left to right
eye movement; that when converting visual graphemes to aural sound,
they need to be said in a smooth left to right sequence; and that a
flow of air from the lungs needs to join – i.e. blend – these letter
sounds together.
