Gl Blend Words Worksheet: Read and Circle!
This worksheet builds phonics skills around the 'gl' consonant blend, helping children recognize and read words like 'glass,' 'glue,' and 'glow' where the sounds of g and l combine at the start of a word. For ages 4-6, practicing blends like gl strengthens the sound-segmentation skills needed to decode increasingly complex words as reading develops.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first 'gl' word aloud together, emphasizing the blended sound rather than separating the g and l into two distinct sounds. Have your child repeat the word, practicing the blend clearly, before scanning the full list of words on the page. Ask your child to circle each word that begins with the 'gl' blend, checking carefully for any words on the list that don't actually start with that sound. Review each circled word together at the end, having your child read it aloud independently one more time.
