About this resource
Description
Consonant blends like cl ask young readers to hold two sounds together in one smooth push — /k/ and /l/ sliding into class, clock, clean, and cloud. That is a big step past sounding out single letters, and it goes best when the blend shows up inside a real story instead of an isolated word list. The Cleo is Late for Class CL Phonics Stories Reading Comprehension Worksheet gives first graders a short, friendly story packed with cl words, then asks them to think carefully about what they just read.
This first grade blends worksheet prints on three pages. Page one holds the illustrated story, page two holds five multiple-choice comprehension questions, and page three is the answer key. Read the story aloud together first, letting students point to every cl word they spot, then have them reread it quietly on their own before they fill in the bubbles. Because every question is answerable straight from the text, students practice going back to the story to check instead of guessing from memory.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 1 illustrated cl blend story with a full-color scene
- 5 multiple-choice comprehension questions
Three things make this resource work. First, the cl blend appears a dozen times inside a single short story, so students meet it in context over and over instead of in a drill. Second, the questions reach for cause, sequence, and detail, so comprehension grows right alongside decoding. Third, the Cleo is Late for Class CL Phonics Stories Reading Comprehension Worksheet is written and measured at a first grade reading level, which means students can decode it on their own and still finish feeling successful.
Try a cl word hunt after the reading — set a timer and see how many cl words students can find on classroom labels, book spines, and hallway signs. Build a cl anchor chart together and add one new word to it each morning. At home, play a quick clap-the-blend game where a parent says a word and the child claps only when it begins with cl. Fill a bin with clay and let children shape a cloud, a clock, or a clip while they say the sound out loud. Small, repeated moments like these are what move a blend from something a child sounds out to something a child simply knows.
