About this resource
Description
Blends are the first big step from sounding out single letters to reading real words, and the bl blend is one of the friendliest places to start. When children see bl at the front of a word they have to hold two consonant sounds together, /b/ and /l/, and say them smoothly with no vowel in between. The Blane Likes Blocks BL Phonics Stories Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives first graders that practice inside a short, decodable story instead of an isolated word list, so the blend is learned the way it is actually used: in connected text that has to be understood.
This first grade bl blends worksheet is built as a three-page reading comprehension set. Page one holds the illustrated story, page two holds the questions, and page three is the answer key. Ask your student to read the eight-sentence story about Blane and his blue and black blocks out loud first, listening for every bl word as it goes by, then read it a second time silently before turning to the questions. Because every answer sits right there in the text, students can go back and point to the sentence that proves their choice, which is the habit every reading assessment rewards.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 1 illustrated bl-blend story and 5 multiple-choice comprehension questions
There are three reasons the Blane Likes Blocks BL Phonics Stories Reading Comprehension Worksheet works so well at this stage. First, it puts the target blend inside a story rather than a drill, so decoding and meaning are practiced together instead of in separate lessons. Second, the passage is written to a measured first grade reading level with short sentences and familiar words, which keeps the effort on the new blend and not on the rest of the vocabulary. Third, the fill-in-the-bubble questions mirror the format children meet on early reading assessments, so the routine becomes familiar long before it counts for a score.
Teachers and parents can stretch this lesson well past the page. Build a real tower out of blocks and label each one with a bl word, such as blue, black, blend, blast, blanket and blink, then let the tower grow one word at a time. Go on a bl hunt through a favorite picture book and tally every word you find. Say a word out loud and have your child clap once if it starts with bl and stay silent if it does not. For a writing extension, ask them to draw what Blane builds next and write two sentences about it using at least two bl words.
