This product aligns with my Blending Cards. For more information about the blending cards, see this blog post.

Blending cues (dots to segment the word, dotted lines to blend the word, and a large arrow to “read it fast”) are included on many of the pages. Students can use the blending cues to read the word, then do the work on the worksheets.

These can also be printed at a reduced size and can be used for interactive notebooks.
