Consonant Blends Worksheets for First Grade
These consonants blends worksheets for first graders include both beginning and ending consonant blends and primarily focus on two-letter combinations of blends, such as consonant blends with “r” and consonant blends with “-sk.” These blend worksheets are designed to help young learners get better at combining sounds to improve their reading and spelling skills. Our aim is to make learning about consonant blends fun and engaging, helping kids enjoy the process of building a strong foundation in reading skills.
Consonant blends are composed of two or three letters that make a new, unique sound when put together. For example, gl- in glad is a two-letter consonant blend.
