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.
