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.

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.

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.
