About this worksheet
A consonant blend is two consonants side by side where you hear both sounds: cl in clock, tr in truck, sn in snake.
Unlike a digraph, the two letters keep their own sounds, said quickly together. Children often drop the second sound, so blends get practice of their own.
A worked example
A picture of a clock: cl + ock
- Say the first part: /cl/. You can hear /k/ and /l/.
- Say the second part: /ock/.
- Push them together: clock.
- Write the whole word: clock.
Answer: clock
The common mistake
What it looks like: Leaving out the second consonant, as in sed for sled or tuck for truck.
Why it happens: The two sounds go by so quickly that the child only hears the first.
How to fix it: Stretch the blend slowly, /s/…/l/, and have the child hold up a finger for each sound before writing.
