Skill: final consonant blends: –st, –sk, –sp, –nd, –nt, –nk, –mp, –rd, –ld, –lp, –rk, –lt, –lf, –pt, –ft, –ct. Initial consonant blends (beginning) and final (ending) consonant blends appear throughout these lessons. Blends are consonants whose “sounds blends together”.Click to see full answer. Also, what is the definition of a blend in phonics?Phonics blends or clusters, are groups of consonants whose sounds blend together. As children become more confident with the alphabet consonants, they start to blend these letters together. Blends are usually composed of two or three consonants and can begin or end a syllable or word.Likewise, what are beginning and ending blends? The most common beginning consonant blends include: bl, br, cl, cr, dr, fr, tr, fl, gl, gr, pl, pr, sl, sm, sp and st. Blends can also occur at the end of words as in the word “last”. There are also blends which contain three consonants. In a consonant digraph, two consonants stand together to represent a single sound. In this way, how do you teach ending blends? Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling Show the students the Consonant Endings video. List NK, LK, NT, MP, and ND on the board. Have your students list the words they heard in the video. Ask the students if they know any words that rhyme with the words listed. Categorize the words according to their consonant endings. Is CK a final blend?An ending blend consists of two adjoining consonants at the end of a word that each make their own sound. So, for example, ck would NOT be an ending blend since it makes a single sound: /k/. Rather, it would be an ending digraph – since a digraph consists of two letters that make ONE sound.
