Description
A consonant blend is two letters that keep both of their sounds and slide together at the start of a word, and cl and cr are two of the first pairs a first grader meets. They look almost the same on the page, so a reader who is not listening closely will say crock for clock or clab for crab. Blends CL, CR Worksheet slows that moment down: the child says the picture name out loud, listens for the two sounds at the front, and decides which blend is really there. Hearing the difference comes first, and spelling it follows.
This first grade consonant blends worksheet gives six picture cards, each with the end of the word already printed and the blend missing. The child names the picture, stretches the first two sounds, and prints cl or cr on the line to finish the word. Three pictures take cl and three take cr, so a student who guesses one blend all the way down the page will be wrong half the time. Two sentences at the bottom bring the words back in context, where the child writes the whole word rather than just the blend.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 picture cards to finish with cl or cr, plus 2 fill-in-the-blank sentences
Blends CL, CR Worksheet helps in three ways. First, the printed word ending means the child only has to solve the part the lesson is about, so the task stays on the blend instead of on spelling a whole word from scratch. Second, the pictures make the sheet readable for a child who is still building sight vocabulary, because the name comes from the picture and not from decoding. Third, the two sentences at the end move the skill from single words into reading, which is where blends actually have to work.
A few more ways to practise at home or in class. Say a word and have the child show cl or cr with two fingers before writing anything. Set out picture cards and sort them into two piles by their first sound, then check each pile by saying the words in a row. Go on a hunt through a favourite book for words that start with cl or cr and list them on a chart. Play a quick game where you say clock and the child says crab, trading a cl word for a cr word until someone runs out. Two or three minutes a day is plenty.
