FL Blend Words Worksheet: Read, Circle, and Learn!
Reading and circling words that begin with the 'fl' consonant blend teaches children ages 4-6 that two consonants together, like f and l, can combine into one smooth sound at the start of a word, a more advanced phonics concept than single-letter sounds. This kind of targeted blend practice builds the specific decoding skill needed to read common early words like 'flag,' 'fly,' and 'flower' without stumbling. Strengthening blend recognition now supports much smoother, more confident reading as vocabulary grows in later grades.

How to use this worksheet
Read each word on the page aloud together first, stretching out the 'fl' sound at the beginning so your child clearly hears the two letters blending together. Have your child point to and read each word themselves, sounding it out slowly if they need to. Ask them to circle only the words that begin with the 'fl' blend, leaving any other words unmarked. Once finished, revisit the circled words together, having your child read each one aloud once more for extra practice.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Crayons

- 4Sort a mixed pile of word or picture cards into 'fl' words and words that don't start with that blend.
