What is a consonant blend?

  1. A single consonant sound

  2. Two or more consonants sounded together

  3. A vowel combination

  4. A type of rhyme

The correct answer is: Two or more consonants sounded together

A consonant blend involves two or more consonant sounds that are pronounced together without losing their individual sounds. For example, in the word "blame," the 'b' and 'l' are both heard distinctly as they blend together to create the initial sound of the word. This characteristic differentiates consonant blends from other phonetic structures, allowing students to recognize and articulate the specific sounds in various contexts. Understanding consonant blends is essential for developing reading skills as it aids in decoding words and improving phonemic awareness.
