Beginning blends (bl, cr, st) worksheets
Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.
A blend is two consonants that work side by side, and you can still hear both: bl in black, cr in crab, st in star.
Two grades, one set of words: both print from the same 90. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

1st grade Core grade
Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.
Consonant blends are two-letter teams where both sounds survive: bl, cr, st, and their many cousins. First graders sort words by their blend family (l-blends, r-blends, and s-blends), training their ears to catch two sounds riding together.

2nd grade
Second graders read and spell blend words fluently and can explain the difference between a blend (two sounds, crab) and a digraph (one new sound, chip). Sorting by family keeps the patterns organized while spelling catches up with reading.
