Resource Description

Learning initial L-blends

A consonant blend is a speech sound made by two or three adjacent consonants (in the same syllable) not separated by vowels. In other words, two consonants ‘pushed’ together to produce sound.

Some beginning consonant blends are used more frequently than others: L- and R- are the most common. With a consonant blend, both sounds of the letters can be heard: unlike digraphs where a new sound is made (sh).

This 22-page resource explores initial L- blend words. There are 6 different initial L- blends: BL-, CL-, GL-, FL-, PL-, SL-. Throughout the document, much emphasis is placed on oral sound blending. A Learner’s ability to correctly identify initial consonant sounds facilitates significant progress with reading, spelling and vocabulary.

Clear, comprehensive guidance is provided in a multi-sensory fashion. The material has been carefully designed to engage learners and embed the new learning.

Activities include word banks, word meanings, gap-fill sentences, synonyms, colouring/ tracing and reading. The two short (amusing) tales are filled with plenty of initial L-blend words. Cut-out word lists and a game consolidate the learning and are useful revision tools.

Getting clever!
