 What is blend?
• A blend is the written consonant sequence that comes before or after a vowel in a word or syllable.
Blends are also sometimes called consonant clusters. They can be made up of 2 or 3 letters.
• You’ll see blends at the beginning of words and syllables (for example: “tr” in trap or “spl” in splash)
and at the ends of words or syllables (“st” in the word past). 
• In a blend, each letter retains its individual sound. For example, in the word brag, you can still hear the
individual /b/ and /r/ sounds in the “br” blend.
