Many words begin with consonants. Sometimes consonants are grouped together at the
beginning of a word. Listen to your teacher read the words below:

play frog grin glee

plan Frank grip glad
plot Fred grab glum
plum frock grub gleam
slum fries grade glide

Words also end in consonants. Sometimes words end in 2 consonants. Listen to your
teacher read the words below:

bank work camp bend

rink mark lamp lend
sink bark bump send
link lark dump tend
wink dark ramp fend

These are examples of consonant blends. A consonant blend is when two or more
consonants are blended together, but each sound may be heard in the blend.  The most
common beginning consonant blends include: bl, br, cl, cr, dr, fr, tr, fl, gl, gr, pl, pr, sl,
sm, sp and st.  Blends can also occur at the end of words as in the word “last”. 

These words begin and end with consonant blends. Read them.

spark plump blend swept

smart clamp blink swirl
trust scamp splint stand
trunk crank cramp brand
black click sport swarm

Complete the name of each object by writing the missing consonant blend.

la__ __ be__ __ te__ __

 GRAMMAR

Look at the pictures on page 12. Can you name the objects you see?

Nouns that name a specific person, place, animal, or object are called proper nouns.

nouns.

GRAMMAR

Some nouns tell of only one person, thing, place, or animal. These nouns are singular nouns.

Some nouns tell about two or more persons, animals, things, places, or events. These nouns
are plural nouns. Plural nouns usually end in S.

Check out the chart below.

SINGULAR PLURAL

stick sticks

plate plates

banana bananas

plant plants

4. bear _________________ 9. elephant _________________

5. snake _________________ 10. spider _________________

The plural form of nouns that end in sh, ss, x, and ch are formed by adding es.
