Today I am practising: reading and spelling final consonant blends

Build fast. Underline the ending blend st.

Read milk. Write the two letters you hear at the end.

Add nd to fi__ to make find. Read the word.

Choose: jump or jut. Which word ends with mp?

Change lamp to land. Which ending letter changed?

Write one word with sk, st, nd, or mp at the end and read it to an adult.

Grown-up note: Ask your learner to explain one answer in their own words.

For the grown-up

How to teach this page

Step 1Tap once for each sound in the blend; do not add a vowel between the consonants.
Step 2Use letter tiles for the first item if the child needs to see the final two letters move together.
Step 3Ask for a slow read first and a smooth read second.
