Do our puppies like to ride on a sled?    

Many letter teams, also called consonant blends, use the letter L: bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl.

Ask your child to point to each word as you read. Read the list four times; let your child take over the reading when he can. Tell each other sentences using these words:

blob     blue     blank        blast     blister

Try:
clap      class     claw      clip      club

Try:
flip              flap    fluff      flick          float          flow          flower
