Lesson Reading words with
initial and final
3 consonant blends

When you have a series of consonant together, that

seem to do their own thing, we refer to this as a blend
(consonant blend).These blends can be used to form
endless words. If a blend is at the front of the word, we refer
to it as “initial”. If the blend is at the end of the word, we
call it “final”.
