A three-letter blend is three consonants together at the start of a word: scr, str, thr. Say every sound: s-t-r, street. In thr, the th is one sound, so you hear two: th-r.

    Three-letter blends open words like scrub, street, and three. First graders sort words by their opening blend and practice saying every sound in the cluster: three in scr and str, two in thr.

    Examples and teaching notes

    Second graders read three-letter blends automatically and spell them without dropping the middle letter, the classic error this sort is built to prevent.
