FR Blend Words Worksheet: Circle the Words!
Children ages 4-6 practice recognizing the 'fr' consonant blend at the start of words, like 'frog' and 'friend', which requires blending two distinct sounds smoothly together rather than reading them as separate letters. Circling the correct words trains visual scanning alongside auditory sound recognition, both essential for fluent early reading. This kind of blend practice moves children beyond single-letter phonics into more complex word decoding.

How to use this worksheet
Read through the list of words together first, having your child listen for the 'fr' sound blending at the beginning of each one. Ask them to say each word slowly, stretching the 'f' and 'r' sounds together before deciding if it belongs to the 'fr' family. Have them circle every word on the page that starts with the 'fr' blend, skipping over words that start differently. Once finished, reread all the circled 'fr' words together as a final check.
