Siya – Hi friends…
We welcome you to the Cook with Elvis show!
So, chef Elvis, what are you going to cook
today?
Elvis – We’ll try a special recipe today.
We will make CONSONANT BLENDS.
Siya – Sounds yummy.
Shall we begin?
Elvis – Yeah…
We start with putting a pinch of a consonant,
say “s” in a blender.
Now let’s add another consonant, say “t”.
All you have to do is blend the two consonants
well together.
And you get... “st”…
A Consonant Blend
A consonant blend is a group of consonants
with no vowel in between.
Look at these words.
Frog
Prince
Clown
Train
In these words, the letters “FR” in FROG;
“PR” in PRINCE; “CL” in “CLOWN”;
“TR” in “TRAIN”; blend together and
help the words begin.
These are known as beginning consonant blends.
We can hear the sound of each consonant in
these blends.
Let’s make some more beginning consonant
blends.
B + L = BL as in BLACK
C + L = CL as in CLOCK
S + L = SL as in SLIDE
C + R = CR as in CROW
G + R = GR as in GRAPES
T + R = TR as in TREE
S + N = SN as in SNAIL
S + P = SP as in SPADE
S + W = SW as in SWING
Siya – Wow, that was so amazing!
Elvis – Siya, can you now give a quick recap
of the recipe?
Siya - Why not…
When two consonants blends together and help
the word begin, they are called beginning
consonant blends.
We can hear sound of each of the consonant
in a blend.
Elvis – Great Job Siya!
Siya – So guys, see you in the next episode
where we will make the ending consonant blends.
