Why get the bundle
- L blends settle with repeat. The bundle gives you cards, games and an assessment so children read the same blends in many forms.
The problem
Black comes out as 'buh-lack': the vowel that isn't there
L blends are hard because /l/ sits close to the vowel. Children add a sound after the first letter, or leave out the l.
Extra vowel
Beginners say 'buh-lack' for black, or 'guh-lass' for glass. The extra sound turns one syllable into two.
Dropped l
'Blend' becomes 'bend' and 'black' becomes 'back'. Both are real words, so the slip is easy to miss.
L looks like I
Lowercase l is a tall line. In words like blade and blend, it can look like a stray stick.
Only L blends appear: bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl. Children read words like blade, blend and black with the second sound held in place.
What’s inside
30 questions, one per slide.
Students type straight into the box — no printing, no cutting.

Questions
Before you buy.
Which L blends are included?
The common bl, cl, fl, gl, pl and sl at the start of words, with real words like blade, blend and black.
My child reads 'blend' as 'bend'. What should I do?
Cover the b and say /l/, then add the b back with a slide. Practice the pair slowly before reading the whole word.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PowerPoint file you can open in Google Slides.
Can I share it with my class?
Yes — one teacher can use it with their own students, this year and next. Sharing the file with other teachers needs a separate license.
Do I need Google Slides?
No. The file is a PowerPoint (.pptx). It opens in PowerPoint, and in Google Slides once you upload it to Google Drive.
