Whitney and Whistler WH Phonics Stories Reading Comprehension Worksheet helps first grade learners practice blends with clear directions and a clean, kid-friendly layout. Print it and it is ready for class, homework, or homeschool lessons.

How it's organized: Short, student-friendly directions sit at the top of the page, followed by practice items that move from simple to more challenging.
