About this resource

Two 18-page A5 booklets containing thirty-six worksheets on consonant blends (CCVC/CVCC) to aid reading and spelling, ideal for small hands. These worksheets on consonant blends were created to go along with our Consonant Blends Reading Books, which are a continuation of our CVC decodable readers.

Overview

The books are divided into two small workbooks that together have 36 pages of consonant blend (CCVC/CVCC) activities. While the second book focuses primarily on final blends (CVCC), the first book primarily covers initial blends (CCVC). Using the vocabulary covered in the reading books, these books provide additional practice in both reading and writing.

The workbooks Introduce key phonetic words, such as 'and', 'milk' and 'end', as well as key sight words, such as 'I', 'no' 'go' and 'to' (having learned 'the', 'is' and 'of' in the CVC readers.

Activities include:

A variety of activities are included

  • Hearing the consonant blends (CCVC/CVCC) in words and colouring the picture of things that contain a given blend.

  • Writing the blend under a picture

  • Speed reading blends

  • Tracking the blends in words

  • Putting letters in the right order to spell them.

  • Reading comprehension - read and draw.

Who can use the consonant blends workbooks?

Anyone who needs to help a child learn to blend consonant letters!

They are suitable for class use, for home education or by parents or private tutors.

They can be used alone or with the Consonant Blend Reading Books.

These books are compatible with Letters and Sounds, Jolly Phonics and Read, Write Inc, but were written for Reading Made Simple.

Instructions:

Some children find it tricky to learn to blend consonant letters. Be patient. Once a child can hear a blend at the beginning of words and can blend any two consonant letters presented to them and further, write them when heard, they are ready to move on. The child will have (and most probably need) much more practice as they move on to learning digraphs.
