Welded Sounds Divider

This card focuses on Welded Sounds, letter combinations that are pronounced together and should not be separated when reading. These sounds can feel tricky for early readers because the letters don’t behave independently, but recognizing them as a single unit makes decoding much smoother.
 
The card presents the concept in a clear, student-friendly way that encourages readers to keep these letters together rather than sounding them out one at a time. Ideal for explicit phonics instruction and repeated practice, it supports automaticity, improves decoding accuracy, and helps students read with greater confidence and ease.
