A good reader must understand the

difference between vowel sounds and
consonant sounds, and how they each
function within the context of a word.
Beginning and ending consonant sounds
act as the framework of words, and
learning them helps early readers master
word building, pronunciation, and
spelling.
This set of printables will help your child
make key phonics elements like blends
and ending sounds second nature.
Fun With Blends

Blends are a group of two or three different consonant sounds.
For example when you say the word drink you can clearly hear the
sounds of both d and r letters. Fill in the blanks at the begining of
each word with the correct blends.

Consonant blends can also be at the end of a word. Like in camp,
friend and bank. Draw a line to match the words on the right column
to the blends on the left column to complete the each word.
