About this worksheet
A consonant blend puts two sounds close together while each stays audible. Children often write only the stronger consonant and lose its neighbour, writing cap for clap or sop for stop. On this worksheet your child looks at a big picture and writes the two letters that are missing from its word: a gap shows where the blend goes, and the rest of the word is printed.
Support sheets use the most common beginning blends. Standard sheets add more blends and longer words. Challenge sheets mix beginning and ending blends, such as the st in nest. Say the picture's name slowly, stretching the two sounds apart, and write one letter for each.
What your child will learn
- Hear both sounds in a consonant blend
- Write the two letters of a blend
- Spell blends at the start and at the end of words
- Check a word by saying it slowly
Common Core standard: RF.1.3.B
Worked example
The picture is a frog and the word shows __og. Say /f/ /r/ /o/ /g/: the missing letters are f and r.
Common mistake
Writing only one letter of the blend because the two sounds are said quickly together.
Helpful hint
Stretch the picture's name and clap once for each sound before you write.
