LK Blend Games for 1st Graders

Think about this – would we be able to talk or walk without the LK blend? The LK blend is an essential word-ending sound found in words as small as three letters and in large words. Help your first grader with the LK blend using these fantastic games.

Games to Master the LK Blend

• Start with the LK sound. You need to ensure your child is familiar with all consonant and short and long vowel sounds at this point, or you may need to wait a little longer. Help them identify the letters that make the LK blend and say it out loud several times. Show them a mix of blends and ask them to identify the LK blend correctly. You can do this by sight and by sound.

• The LK sorter is a good game that can be played with your kids to help them distinguish the LK sound from other ‘l’ blends. Playing this game online will make this a more enjoyable experience for your child.

• Show your child various pictures. They need to call out the word and decide whether it ends with the LK blend or not. It is a good game to understand your child’s grasp of the concept.

• You can show your child little pictures of LK ending words like milk, talk, and walk. Now show them the LK blend and make them fill in the rest of the letters. This can also be played through fun online games on SplashLearn to break the monotony.

• Show your child various words, and help them sort the LK words with the corresponding vowel. It will help them connect the LK sound to multiple vowels. Be careful when using the vowels ‘o’ and ‘a’ since they change the LK sound altogether. You can save them for the next stage.
