Learning Phonics Blends

Today in phonics class, Courtney was working on some more final blends on words.

Before we got started on our lesson, I had written some blends on her white board and wanted to see if she could think of any of her own words that had those blends on the end.

I wrote " _ _ act." What two (or one)letters would you put in the blanks to make a word?

I would say, "fact," or "pact."

Courtney's answer, "lactose." Even spelled correctly.

I cracked up! Lactose? I asked her where she got that words from and she said, "I just thought of our diet, mom!"

It's funny because we aren't on the "lactose intolerant" diet and it's not a word we use daily around our house! (We do avoid everything dairy though.)
