About this worksheet
“Beginning Blends” is sheet 2 of 22 in our free 1st Grade Phonics & Spelling Worksheets collection, written for children aged 6–7. It focuses on blends, one of two sheets in the set on that skill.
In the set it comes after “Long Vowels with Silent E” and before “Digraphs: sh, ch, th”. Working through them in that order, one sheet a day, builds the skill a step at a time.
