About this worksheet
Kids color the pictures that have an r-blend, write the missing blend in four picture words and circle the r-blend words. Words on the page include crab, drum, frog, truck, crown, dress, broom. Answer key on page 2. It matches first grade reading goals, roughly ages 6 to 7.
On this sheet
In an r-blend you hear both sounds: c + r = cr, as in crab. Color the pictures with an r-blend. Write the missing blend. Read the words. Circle the words with an r-blend.
Tips for using it
- Say both sounds of the blend before the rest of the word: s-t, star.
- Hold up two fingers for a blend, one finger for each sound you hear.
- Practice ending blends by stretching the end of the word: te-n-t.
