About this resource
Description
Consonant blends are two consonants whose sounds glide together, and this l blend activity gives 1st and 2nd grade students hands-on practice with the five l-blends: bl, cl, fl, pl and sl. Students match colorful picture cards to word cards, read each word, and sort it by the blend that starts it.
The Plucking Blends pack has 15 picture cards and 15 word cards, three for each blend, from a block and a clock to a flag, a plate and a sled. Students find each picture’s word card, say the word slowly, and write it under the right lemon on the Blend Tree page. Use the cards at a phonics center, in a small reading group, or as a partner game.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page
- 15 picture cards and 15 word cards
- A Blend Tree recording page with bl, cl, fl, pl and sl lemons
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: write the blend that starts each picture word
- Answer keys for the card matches, the Blend Tree and the practice page
Why This Consonant Blends Activity Helps Kids
First, students hear and see both sounds in a blend, which helps them read and spell words like clock and sled instead of dropping the l. Second, matching pictures to words builds reading fluency with real, everyday vocabulary. Third, sorting and writing the words on the Blend Tree turns quick practice into spelling practice.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Have students hunt for more l-blend words in their books and add them to the Blend Tree. Play a quick game of memory with a few picture and word pairs. Use this l blend activity before a spelling test, or send the cards home for extra practice.
