Helpful Hints
Guide
- Say
Let’s review the l-blend before we practice reading more words. - Point to each picture and Say the words together
blanket
flower
blocks
bluebird (compound word)
glass
classroom
flock
plane - Say
All the words start with a consonant sound. But I also hear the /l/ sound right after it that blends with the first sound. So we feel our tongue move from sound to sound as we say the blend.
Now let’s practice reading words with the l-blend.
