This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed, and

Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,

RECAP

We have learned that blends are consonants whose “sounds

blend together”. In other words, each letter within the blend is
pronounced individually, but quickly, so they “blend” together.
Initial blends can be found at the beginning of some words like,
black, crab, practice, school, skate, etc.

6
 LESSON

The most common consonant blends are combinations of two

or three consonants together at the beginning or end of some
words. Today, let us learn to read words with final consonant blends
(-st, -lt, nd, -nt, -ft).

Have you visited other places with your family during

Christmas? If yes, where is that place and how did you spend your
time together? We are going to read a short passage. Are you now
ready to read it?

It was a Wednesday when Alfred went to Thailand on a

business trip. Although Christmas was just five days away, he knew
this assignment would not make him spend Christmas in a foreign
country. (This year’s International Interior Designer’s Conference is
a three-day affair.) A seasoned traveler, Alfred walked down
airport aisles. He read all the signs that led him to the taxi stand.
While still a few feet away from the first taxi in the line, Alfred saw
that the driver’s eyes were closed. He lightly knocked on the taxi’s
door to get the driver’s attention. The driver opened his eyes and
gave Alfred a polite smile. He then proceeded to help load the
luggage. Alfred climbed into the taxi. He could not wait to get to
the hotel. His knees and leg muscles were still aching from the
previous day’s ten -mile hike.
(Pangilinan Merboy V., Elementary English Adventures 4,
Missionbook Publishing Inc. 2018 p. 99)

Let us now answer the questions about the passage.

1. Who went to Thailand on a business trip?

-Alfred went to Thailand on a business trip.

2. What was the purpose of his business trip in Thailand?

7
 -The purpose of his business trip was to attend the
International Interior Designer’s Conference.

3. What did he see while waiting in the taxi stand?

-He saw the first taxi in the line and the driver was asleep.

4. Why did he knock on the taxi’s door?

-He knocked on the taxi’s door to wake the driver up so that
he can get inside the taxi to drive him to the hotel.

Here are some of the words that we have read from the
passage. Let us read them aloud one by one.

A B C D
went just would Thailand
assignment first could spend
stand

What have you noticed with the words in Group A? How

about the words in the other groups?

They end with the same consonant sound of -nt, -st, -ld, and -
nd. They are final consonant blends. Let’s read more words with
final blends.

-ft -sk -mp -lt

soft ask damp melt
raft risk pump salt
left task stamp adult

Now, that you have read the words correctly. Let us continue
our lesson by answering an exercise about words with final blends.
