Right now, you are reading this content most probably because you are working on the reading and writing skills for kids and you want to teach your little one about the blends and what they actually are.
If you have to teach your kid about blends and how they work then you need to start by making groups of the blends first because you can’t just teach them all the blends all at the same time. You need to start with the 1st group of blends, l-blends first (bl, cl, fl, gl, pl and SL) and then you need to follow it to the r-blends.
