Blend Words Worksheet: Fill in the Blanks with Beginning Blends!

How to use this worksheet

Look at the first picture together and say the full word slowly, listening closely for the two consonant sounds blended at the start. Show your child the list of blend options at the bottom of the page and have them choose the one that matches what they heard. Guide them to write the chosen blend into the blank space to complete the word, then read the finished word aloud together. Repeat this process for each picture, checking every completed word before moving to the next.
