Learning Objective
I can blend consonants br, cr, dr, fr, gr.
Today we will learn how to blend consonants br, cr, dr, fr, gr. Reading and writing help us share our ideas with others.
Consonant blends are two or more consonants that appear together but each makes its own sound. For example, in "stop," the letters S and T blend together at the start: /s/ + /t/. Common blends include: bl (blue), cr (crab), st (star), and tr (tree). When you see a blend, say each sound quickly, one after the other!
Let's break this down step by step so it's easy to understand. Follow along with the examples, and don't worry if it takes some practice to get the hang of it!
Remember: Making mistakes is part of learning. If something is tricky, try again, look at the examples, or ask for help.
