Pre-Lesson/Prior Knowledge: Students have previously learned about final

blends. Students have previously read the Anchor Text and discussed text features.
Lesson Beginning: Students will meet teacher on the carpet. Today we are going
to continue our phonics lesson on blends. We learn about how words come together
