Circle the Correct Blend Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet trains 3-5 year olds to discriminate between two similar-sounding consonant blends by listening to a picture's name and deciding which of two printed blends matches its beginning sound — a genuinely tricky listening task since blends like 'bl' and 'br' or 'cl' and 'cr' sound close together. Getting this right requires careful auditory attention rather than guessing, making it a solid stepping stone toward full blend-word reading.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first picture together and say its name slowly and clearly. Read both blend options underneath out loud, emphasizing the sound of each. Ask your child which blend matches the beginning of the picture's name, then have them circle their choice. Move through each picture the same way, encouraging your child to repeat the word slowly if they're unsure before circling an answer.
