What children learn in Level 9
- A blend is two consonants side by side. You can hear both sounds, said fast together. F and r make fr, like in frog!
- Blends at the start: fl in flag, cr in crab, st in stop, dr in drum.
- Read a blend word sound by sound, then blend: c, l, a, p. Clap!
- Your turn! Spell frog with the letter tiles.
- In a blend, you hear both letters. Don't skip one!
