Why get the bundle
- Blends need repeat in several forms. The bundle adds games, cards and an assessment, and the L, R and S bundles go deeper on each family.
The problem
Two sounds, one breath: 'blend' read as 'buh-lend'
A consonant blend keeps both sounds, so children must say them quickly together. Many slow down, insert a vowel, or drop one sound.
Inserted vowels
Children say 'buh-lack' for black. The extra vowel makes a two-syllable word and slows reading.
Dropped sounds
Blend becomes 'bend' and brake becomes 'bake'. One sound of the blend goes missing, and a new real word appears.
Three families at once
L, R and S blends all look alike on the page. Children must notice which letter pair they have before blending.
Words with L, R and S blends are practiced together. Children read each word whole and check that both sounds are there, not an extra vowel in between.

Questions
Before you buy.
What's a consonant blend?
Two or three consonants at the start of a word where each keeps its own sound, as in blend, brake and scarf.
Is a blend the same as a digraph?
No. In a blend you hear both letters. In a digraph, like sh, two letters make one new sound.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 15 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Email support@pencillane.com within 30 days and we refund the full $5. No form, no questions.
