Initial Consonant Blends Worksheets

and Teaching Resources

Initial consonant blends are combinations of consonants that occur before a vowel that although blended can be segmented into their constituent sounds such as CR in crab, the FL in flower. Consonant blends represent a blending of sounds as opposed to digraphs which are combinations of letters that represent a single sound, or phoneme (such as the CH in chop).

Note: These resources emphasize initial consonant blends containing an R or an L. With the exception of words that begin with an S, most initial consonant blends fall under these categories. Another section with consonant blends beginning with S will be uploaded at a later date.

Consonant Blends Spelling Worksheets: These spelling sheets contain words with the consonant digraphs and short vowels. I generally introduce two or three new words every day to highlight or reinforce a particular pattern.

Consonant Blends Card Game: These cards can be used to play memory and fish while at the same time reinforcing consonant digraph patterns. The words are mostly taken from the spelling sheets above.
