'bl' Blend Words Worksheet: Read, Circle, and Learn!
Consonant blends like 'bl' require a child to smoothly join two sounds together (b + l) rather than saying them as separate beats, which is a distinct and harder phonics skill than single-letter sounds. This worksheet gives 4-6 year olds repeated practice reading words that start with 'bl' — like black, blue, or block — and then applying that recognition by circling the matching words, reinforcing the blend both by ear and by sight.

How to use this worksheet
Read the list of 'bl' blend words aloud together first, modeling how the 'b' and 'l' sounds glide together smoothly rather than pausing between them. Have your child try reading each word independently, sounding it out slowly if needed. Once they've read through the list, have them circle every word that actually starts with the 'bl' blend, checking any that don't belong. Finish by rereading all the circled words together as a final check.
