L blends Worksheets

Here is a bumper pack of 40 consonant L blend worksheets to teach bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, and sl.

Who are these L-Blends Worksheets for?

These worksheets are designed for a younger child, or an older child with processing difficulties, both of whom may need less on a page.

These worksheets break learning down into small, bite-sized steps to enable very young learners or those with special needs to succeed.

These worksheets are based on my 3-step process: see it, sound it out, and write it. By using the hand, we strengthen the links in the brain that help both reading and spelling.

Reading and spelling are two sides of the same coin. Together, both are stronger.

Order, Outline and Steps

  • Each blend is introduced aurally. To begin with, the child is asked to colour the picture that starts with a given blend. There are 2 differentiated worksheets for each blend.

  • A further set of worksheets asks children to sort words by their initial blend - there are 2 differentiated worksheets for this activity.

  • Another set gives the child practice writing the blend, providing a multisensory component.

  • We then move into reading and spelling words with a consonant blend and a short vowel sound - words like 'plum' and 'clap'.

  • The next section gives further practice playing with blends and endings - word making.

  • We then put the blends words into sentences and further into short paragraphs.

  • We finish with a game.
