Beginning R Blend Worksheets for Kindergarten and Grade 1 Kids
Learning beginning blends is an important step in becoming a fluent reader. Children need plenty of practice to hear, read, and blend sounds smoothly. Regular practice helps build reading confidence and strong decoding skills.
An R blend happens when the letter R joins another consonant at the beginning of a word. Children can hear both sounds clearly. These worksheets focus only on beginning R blends.
Common R blends include:
- br
- cr
- dr
- fr
- gr
- pr
- tr
For example, in the word brush, the beginning blend is br. Children can hear both the /b/ sound and the /r/ sound.
Read each sound slowly. Then blend the sounds together to make a word.
- br + ush = brush
- cr + ab = crab
- dr + um = drum
- fr + og = frog
- gr + ab = grab
- pr + ay = pray
- tr + ap = trap
Our Beginning R Blend Worksheets include 16 free printable activities to help children practice each blend in a fun and meaningful way.
