This document outlines a lesson on teaching consonant blends to students. It discusses reviewing vowels and consonants, introducing the concept of consonant blends as two or more consonants blended together, and giving examples of blending "b" and "l" to make "bl". The lesson recommends drilling students on words beginning with "bl" blends and having them practice reading and writing words with "bl" blends through various activities. It stresses the importance of reviewing previously taught blends in future lessons.

Make sure the student knows the sound of each grapheme/letter and each blend.

3. Lesson 2 cont’d
eacher: Consonant blends are when two or three consonants come together and a
little of each letter is heard as we blend the sounds together.
Teacher: For example: What is the sound of this consonant: b?
Student: /c/
Teacher: What is the sound of this consonant: l?
Student: /l/
Teacher: What is the sound when b and l are blended together?
Student: /cl/
Teacher: Good. Now let’s see some words that begin with bl.
Drill with the flash cards and have the student sound out the blend, then the whole
word.

Activities: Read words aloud, write words on the white board, build them with
magnetic letters, build them with cards, complete worksheets, read decodable books
and reading with those blends, play blends games.
[Repeat the same procedure of sounding out each consonant, then blending b cl, fl, gl,
pl, sl. Instruct on multiple blends, no more than they can remember, in the same
session. Then read with them You can introduce the blends in different order,
depending on the words they might see in a particular book they are reading.]
Each blend lesson from there should start with reviewing the letter sounds and the
blend sounds that have been taught to that point.
