Consonant blends (also called consonant clusters) are groups of two or three letters that are often placed together in words. A few of the most common blends are BL-, CL-, CR-, FR-, SC- and SM-.
Our Blend Activity Pack makes it easy to focus on one type of blend with newer readers (for instance, L blends) or review several different blends at the same time for kiddos who are ready for a challenge.
It’s perfect for kindergarten or first grade literacy centers, word work stations, or homeschool activities.
