This easy-level introduction focuses on bl and cl blends through gentle, hands-on practice. First graders trace six blend words including black, clap, blend, clam, blink, and clip to build letter formation and sound memory. They then complete four fill-in-the-blank sentences by adding the missing bl or cl blend, and finish with three true or false questions checking whether they understand that a blend has two consonants working together.
Perfect for blend beginners.
