L Blends

The document discusses L blends, which are groups of two consonants where the letter L is combined with another consonant sound. It provides the examples of black, glass, block, plus, clock, flag, and plum to demonstrate L blends like bl, gl, pl, fl, kl. The document explains that in an L blend, the two consonants keep their individual sounds but are blended together when pronounced, like sounding out "black" as /bl/-e/-k/. It encourages segmenting words into their blend sounds like /gl/e/s/ for glass and /pl/a/t/ for plate.

Today we're going to learn about blends.

Blends are a group of 2


or more consonants that appear together, but each keep their
own sound.
In this lesson we will sound out words with L blends. Look at this
word. BLACK
At the beginning it has 2 consonants, b and l. When we sound out
the word, we put their sounds together like this: /bl/. Blend the
sounds and you get /bl/- /e/- /k/...black!
So, L Blend is any sound pronounced with the letter L!
Let’s see some more examples:
GLASS BLOCK
PLUS CLOCK
FLAG PLUM
Now, let’s try to segment these words:
/gl/ /e/ /s/ /fl/ /e/ /g/ /kl/ /o/ /k/
/pl/ /a/ /s/ /bl/ /o/ /k/ /pl/ /a/ /m/

So, /g/ and /L/ are a blend and we read them as /gl/
P and L are a blend and we read them as /pl/
F and L are a blend and we read them as /fl/
B and L are a blend and we read them as /bl/
K and L are a blend and we read them as /kl/
Now, you try reading the next example: PLATE
Can you segment the sounds in this word? /pl/ /ei/ /t/

Remember, blends are groups of consonants that keep their own


sounds but are sounded out together
