What is Consonant Blend?

A consonant blend is a combination of consonants that
are placed together without being separated by a vowel. The
most common consonant blends are combinations of two or
three consonants together at the beginning or end of a word
that creates distinct sound.

 Blends are found either at the beginning or end of a word.

Initial Consonant Blend – blends that are found at the

beginning of a word.

Examples:

cl – clapclean clear clog closeclass

The babies clap their hands. The water is clean.

sn- snap snow snail snacksnoresneeze

The boys snap their fingers. The girls eat their snack.

Final Consonant Blend – blends that are found at the

end of a word.

Examples:

-st fast past last dust cost post

The car is very fast. The face masks cost ₱40.00.

-ld cold sold told fold gold hold

The weather is cold. They sold their van.
