Give your child the next step after CVC words. Reading Bigger Words: Blends Edition is a 13-page printable packet that helps emerging readers tackle consonant blends — two letters at the start of a word that keep their own sounds but slide smoothly together, like the cl in clap or the st in step.
What's Included
- 10 word list & sentence practice pages, grouped by short vowel (a, e, i, o, u)
- Consonant blend (CCVC) words throughout
- Decodable sentences with a picture-matching activity
- A welcome page explaining the method and how to use the packet
- Instant digital download (PDF), print at home or in the classroom
Why It Works
Each vowel section builds the same skill twice: first with a word list (fill in the vowel, sound it out, read the word), then with decodable sentences (read, circle the word list words, match to a picture). This repeated, hands-on practice is the natural next step once your child is reading simple CVC words with ease.
How to Use It
- Fill in the target letter and blend the sounds
- Read each sentence and circle the word list words
- Match the sentence to its picture
