After Working with Short Vowels in CVC formats in world 1, we now move to initial consonant pairs, digraphs, and blends in planet 2.

Level 2-1 focuses on words that begin with ch, sh, or th. Level 2-2 includes words that begin with cl, fl, gl, pl, and sl. Level 2-3 has words that begin with br, dr, fr, gr, and tr. All 30 of the words in these levels begin with a two-consonant digraph or blend which is followed by a short vowel and a final consonant, allowing students to apply their short vowel work from planet 1 here.

Level 2-4 asks students to determine whether each word starts with w or wh. This level is full of extremely high-frequency words like who, what, when, where, why, were, with, and went.

Finally, level 2-5 consists of a number of different blends, all of which start with s. Words beginning with sc, sk, sn, sp, st, and sw are all included in that level.

By the time they get to these levels, your students should have a decent number of stars and badges on their awards page. Hopefully they are really settling in to the fun of crushing levels here on Rocket Spelling!
