About this resource
Description
A consonant blend is two consonants that sit side by side, where a reader hears both sounds. The dr blend starts words like drum, dress, and drive, and this dr blends worksheet gives 2nd grade students a focused way to hear, see, and write it. Children read real sentences and hunt for every word that begins with dr, which builds careful decoding instead of guessing from the first letter.
This dr blends worksheet has five short sentences about everyday life. Students read each sentence, circle each word that begins with dr, and then write the six dr words on the lines below. Every sentence also holds other words that start with d, such as dog, door, and dinner, so children must listen for both sounds in the blend. Read the first sentence together, model how to point to each word, and then let students finish on their own.
What’s Included
- One page with five dr blend sentences to read and circle
- Six writing lines for copying the dr words
- A watercolor drum and drink picture that shows two of the answer words
- An answer key with every dr word circled and written
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, finding words inside sentences asks children to read every word closely, which strengthens phonics in real text. Second, the look-alike d words teach students to separate a single d from the dr blend. Third, writing each word right after finding it helps the spelling pattern stick for later reading and writing.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this page in a phonics center, for small group reading, or as quick homework. Before starting, say a few words aloud and have children tap their desk for every dr word. After the page, ask students to think of more dr words, such as drop, dream, or draw, and use one in a sentence. It pairs well with the other single-blend pages in the set, and it also works as a 1st grade blends worksheet for strong early readers.
