Gr Blend Words Worksheet: Circle the 'gr' Words!
Learning to recognize the 'gr' consonant blend, as in 'grass,' 'green,' or 'grape,' trains children's ears to hear two consonant sounds pressed together at the start of a word, a more advanced phonics skill than single-letter sounds. For ages four to six, mastering common blends like 'gr' significantly expands the number of words they can decode independently when reading.

How to use this worksheet
Read through the full list of words on the page together first, sounding out each one slowly so your child hears the 'guh-ruh' blend at the start. Have your child read each word again on their own, and circle every word that begins with the 'gr' blend. Go back through their circled answers together, double-checking that no non-'gr' words were accidentally included. Finish by having your child say all the circled words aloud one more time in a row.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Crayons

- 3Go on a 'gr' word hunt around the house or yard, looking for anything whose name starts with that blend.
- 4Play a quick rhyming game using 'gr' words, like 'grow' and 'slow.'
