Consonant Blends Worksheet — L-Blends (Free PDF)

One page for each l-blend — bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl — so a child practices each pair of sounds separately.

What’s inside

• An instructions page: unlike a digraph, you can hear each consonant in a blend.
• BL words (bl-ack, bl-ank, bl-ast, bl-ock, bl-ood, bl-oom…) and CL words (cl-am, cl-ap, cl-ass, cl-ick, cl-iff, cl-ip…).
• FL, GL, PL and SL pages.

Every word in this PDF (82)

Handy for checking the list fits your child before printing, or for making your own games.
