BL Blend Games for Kids Online

/BL/ sound is a consonant sequence as two consonants /B/ and /L/ come together. It is pronounced by closing the lips to make the B sound and pushing the tongue to the roof of the mouth in front of the two teeth. Usually, when this step is not taught properly, most students say W instead of L. For example, they say BWUE for BLUE.

To avoid this mistake, you can elongate the L sound in words with BL. With correct spacing between the sounds, take a 2-seconds pause when saying this syllable.

Blend in support in your child’s learning!

Blending is a fundamental skill, an essential one that children at any grade require when they start reading. At the beginning of the reception years, they will begin recognizing sounds. Thus, this is the best time to teach children the blending sounds and help them to pronounce the words while reading.

When you are teaching, explain what blends are. Go slow, start from simple to difficult words. Ensure that they have a clear understanding of phonemics. Lastly, practice as much as you can.

Blending can be challenging for beginners. However, nothing is challenging for children who have supportive parents. Parents can carefully listen to the sounds, clear their concepts and speak the word loudly. Try to practice interactively learning this.

Online game-based learning is a fantastic way to engage children. SplashLearn offers engaging educational and curriculum-aligned games where the kids will be learning with an alpha-bot. The bot will start with practicing the sound of BL and then identifying it in words.
