1st Grade Reading & Language Arts — Reading with Purpose — Phonics and Comprehension
Students will recognize and read words with consonant blends at the beginning and end of words.
Just like friends work together, some letters work together too! When two consonants blend their sounds, we call it a consonant blend.
Beginning blends: 'bl' in 'bless,' 'cr' in 'cross,' 'gr' in 'grace,' 'pr' in 'pray,' 'st' in 'star,' 'tr' in 'trust.'
Ending blends: 'nd' in 'kind,' 'nk' in 'think,' 'st' in 'fast,' 'mp' in 'lamp.' Say each sound together quickly to make the blend!
Circle the blends in these words: frog, stop, plan, lamp, gift, bless, cross, trust. Then draw pictures for four of the words and label them.
