I love to use these Wipe Clean Activity Flash Cards created by Roger Priddy to help with identifying consonant blends.

For this activity:

Find words which contain consonant blends at the beginning of the word such as “cl”, “dr”, “sp”, “tr” and “br”.
Cover the blend with a post-it notes and ask your child to identify the letters which make the blend.
Uncover the blend and write the word on a whiteboard to practise its spelling.
Depending on the level of your child, try to use the word in a sentence. This can be done orally or in writing.
