This post includes 6 fun activities for practicing beginning consonant blends in first grade including small group and center ideas.
A fun phonics activity for early readers at home or school. This resource looks at 3 consonant -l blends - fl, cl, and bl (at the beginning of words). Use this printable for Kindergarten or first-grade literacy centers, and in interactive notebooks. The design makes this activity more hands-on than a standard consonant blends worksheet. For each sound, there are 2 template choices that children can use to make their foldout (see below for words used on each to check they will be suitable for your learners). Firstly they will color the letters and pictures. Next, they’ll cut out the 4 words and match them to each picture before sticking them down. Pupils will then cut around the outside of the template before folding along the vertical lines. A great way to practice scissor skills as well as reading! The foldout can then be closed to show just the blend letters, then carefully opened to reveal what’s inside. Some children may require extra adult support with cutting or folding. This resource also contains written instructions and a picture showing how to fold. The words used for each template are as follows: Fl template 1: flag, flame, fly, flick Fl template 2: flea, floss, float, flower Cl template 1: clam, claw, clock, clap Cl templates 2: cloak, climb, clown, clover Bl template 1: blue, blow, blot, blocks Bl template 2: blowfish, blender, bleach, blanket Please note that this resource is not editable.
