Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practices putting separate sounds together into a word — 10 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core RF.K.2: Hear and play with the sounds inside spoken words, without any letters involved. The instruction to students is “Put the sounds together and write the word”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.2 — RF.K.2, under Reading: Foundational Skills for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Blend the Sounds is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on RF.K.2, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 10 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Yes. Blend the Sounds, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
