Blend 2–3 sounds

What is “Blend 2–3 sounds”?

Blend 2–3 sounds is a Kindergarten – 1st grade reading skill in the Sound Start region of the TernQuest map — single letter sounds & first blending. It is aligned to California Common Core State Standards standard RF.K.2c. Children work through 20 grade-tagged questions at the recall level (quick recall), and Pip the tern offers a hint — never the answer — when they get stuck.

How does it unlock?

Skills on the map unlock in order: finishing the skill before this one with a mastery score of 60 or more opens blend 2–3 sounds. A grown-up can also assign it directly from the dashboard, and teachers can assign it to a whole class with a join code.
