Beginning Blend Worksheets - Free S Blend Activities for Kindergarten

Beginning blends are an important phonics skill. They help children learn how to read new words with confidence.

S blends happen when the letter S joins another consonant at the beginning of a word. Both sounds are heard clearly.

For example:

• sp + ot = spot
• sp + in = spin
• sk + in = skin
• sn + ap = snap

Read each sound slowly. Then blend them together to make the word. This helps children understand how beginning blends work.

Common S Blends

• SC – scarf, scoop
• SK – skate, skirt
• SM – smart, smile
• SN – snake, snow
• SP – spin, spoon
• ST – star, stop
• SW – swim, swan

Learning these common S blends improves reading fluency and word recognition.
