Blend Words Worksheet: Circle the Correct Picture!
This worksheet strengthens blending skills for children ages 4-6, asking them to say a consonant blend like 'bl' or 'st' together with different word endings and identify which resulting word matches a picture. Blending two consonant sounds smoothly before adding a vowel is a more advanced phonics skill than single-letter sounds, and this practice directly supports decoding multisyllabic and blended words during independent reading.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the blend written at the start of the row and say it out loud together a few times, like 'st, st, st.' Then look at each word option in that row, sounding it out slowly by blending the initial sound with the rest of the word. Compare the sounded-out word to the picture shown and circle the picture that matches. Repeat for each row on the page, always saying the blend and full word aloud before circling.
