Blast Foundations lessons can be taught in various group sizes, depending on your situation. When used in 1st grade, it's often taught as a whole class supplement, thus the group sizes are large. When it’s taught as an intervention in 2nd grade, it is typically taught in smaller groups. The scope and sequence covers explicit instruction in the foundational skills needed to help students who struggle with basic skills in reading. They will learn how to master words with cvc, digraphs, two-sound blends, trigraphs, and the vowel-consonant-e spelling. Students also learn how to apply functional strategies to successfully read multi-syllabic words with ease. Blast targets the skills needed to build confidence with decoding skills in order to become accurate fluent readers. Daily lessons are 15 - 20 minutes.
