Consonant Blends are two Consonant sounds put together.

Consonants are all the letters in the Upper and Lowercase Alphabet except the Letters: A, E, I, O, and U.

This video teaches your child how to blend two Consonants together.

Blends are taught in this video. Ending Consonant Blends are when Consonant Blends come at the end of a word. Beginning Blends come at the beginning of words. Silent Blends are when one Letter is Silent.

To practice Blends, there are stories for your child to read in the Practice Reading Book 3 that correlate with the Ending Consonant Blend words addressed in the videos (Practice Reading Book 3 Pages: 1221).

For additional practice with Consonant Blends there are printable Consonant Blend Flashcards. With these Flashcards your child can read the various Ending Consonant Blends and add Consonants Blends to Word Beginnings to make Ending Consonant Blend Words (Ending Consonant Blend Flashcards).

There are aslo Controlled R Words or Bossy R Words in this Video that make unique Sounds.
