**Create customized phonics and decoding practice for every learner.** Blending Stack is a flexible reading instruction tool designed for reading tutors, teachers, interventionists, and homeschool parents. Instead of using the same word lists for every student, create blending stacks that match the exact phonics patterns you're teaching. **CUSTOMIZE YOUR PRACTICE** Choose beginning, middle, and ending patterns to build targeted blending stacks. Practice everything from simple CVC words to more advanced decoding patterns. **SAVE STACKS FOR STUDENTS** Create and save customized stacks for individual students, making it easy to return to specific skills during future lessons. **SHARE PRACTICE WITH FAMILIES** Share blending stacks with parents so students can continue practicing the skills they're learning between tutoring sessions. **DESIGNED FOR STRUCTURED LITERACY** Use Blending Stack during one-on-one tutoring, small-group reading intervention, or homeschool instruction. Its customizable format supports explicit, systematic phonics instruction and targeted decoding practice. **CREATED BY A CERTIFIED DYSLEXIA PRACTITIONER** Blending Stack was developed by Allyson Gardner, a reading tutor and Certified Dyslexia Practitioner, to solve a real instructional challenge: creating individualized blending practice without spending valuable teaching time preparing materials. Whether you're teaching beginning readers or supporting students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties, Blending Stack helps you provide focused practice that matches your student's needs. Choose the patterns. Build the stack. Practice reading.
