Interactive worksheet for children to practice identifying BL and BR blends using picture clues.

Let’s go through each picture one by one and say the word out loud (or in your head). Then we’ll look at the two choices — “br” or “bl” — and pick the one that matches the beginning sound of the word.

1. First picture: It’s a brush. The word is “brush.” That starts with “br.” So circle br.

2. Second picture: It’s a broken heart. The word is “broken.” That starts with “br.” So circle br.

3. Third picture: It’s a brownie with whipped cream and a strawberry. The word is “brownie.” That starts with “br.” So circle br.

4. Fourth picture: It’s a blender. The word is “blender.” That starts with “bl.” So circle bl.

5. Fifth picture: It’s a black-and-white moon with a face — like a crescent moon. The word is “moon”? Wait — no, actually, looking closer, it’s probably meant to be “black moon” or just “moon,” but since we’re focusing on BL/BR blends, and “moon” doesn’t start with either… Hmm. Let’s think again. Actually, this might be representing “bl” as in “blue moon”? But that’s not quite right. Wait — maybe it’s “br” for “broken”? No, that doesn’t fit. Let me re-express: In many worksheets like this, this image is often used for “bl” — because it’s a “black moon” or sometimes labeled “moon” but they want you to hear “bl” from “blue”? Actually, let’s check common worksheet patterns. More likely, this is meant to be “bl” — perhaps “bl” for “blotched” or “blurred”? No — wait! Actually, I think this is a trick. Looking at the image again — it’s a moon with a face, half dark, half light. But in standard BL/BR worksheets, this is often paired with “bl” — maybe “bl” for “black”? But “black” starts with “bl” — yes! “Black” starts with “bl.” So if the word is “black moon,” then the blend is “bl.” So circle bl.

Wait — let’s double-check. Is there a better fit? Maybe “moon” alone? But “moon” doesn’t have a BL or BR blend. So the intended word must be something like “black” — which does start with “bl.” So yes — bl.

6. Sixth picture: It’s a man walking with a cane — looks like a “br” word? Wait — he’s wearing a hat and coat — maybe “br” for “brave”? Or “bl” for “blind”? Actually, in many worksheets, this is used for “br” — as in “brave man” or “brisk walk.” But let’s think phonetically. The most common word associated with this image in BL/BR worksheets is “br” — for “brave” or “broom”? Wait — no, he’s not holding a broom. He’s holding a cane. Maybe “br” for “broken leg”? Not really. Actually, I recall — this is often “br” for “brisk” — meaning walking quickly. But he’s walking slowly. Hmm. Alternatively, maybe it’s “bl” for “blind”? But he’s not blindfolded. Wait — let’s look at the options again. The key is to listen to the first sound. If the word is “man,” that doesn’t help. But in context, this image is typically used for “br” — for example, “br” as in “brave” or “broad.” But actually, upon second thought — I think this is meant to be “bl” — for “blundering” or “blinking”? No. Let’s try a different approach. What if the word is “br” — as in “br” for “broom”? But he’s not holding a broom. Wait — maybe it’s “bl” for “blue”? No. I think I made a mistake earlier. Let me search my memory: In standard 1st grade BL/BR worksheets, this image (a man walking with a cane) is often labeled “br” — for “brave” or “brisk.” But actually, I found a better fit: sometimes it’s “bl” for “blind man.” But he’s not blind. Wait — perhaps it’s “br” for “broken” — like he has a broken leg? That could work. So “broken” starts with “br.” So circle br.

Actually, let’s be consistent. Let’s list all images with their likely intended words:

- Brush → br
- Broken heart → br
- Brownie → br
- Blender → bl
- Black moon → bl (since “black” starts with bl)
- Man with cane → br (as in “brave” or “broken”)

But wait — the sixth image: if it’s “man,” that doesn’t help. But in many worksheets, this is “br” for “brisk” — even if he’s walking slow, it’s still “br.” Or maybe “bl” for “blundering”? I think the safest bet is to go with common worksheet answers. Upon recalling, this image is usually “br” — for “brave” or “brisk.” So I’ll go with br.

7. Seventh picture: It’s a campfire. The word is “fire.” That starts with “f,” not bl or br. Wait — but “campfire” — still “c.” Hmm. But “bl” or “br”? Neither. Unless it’s “blaze” — which starts with “bl.” Yes! “Blaze” is a synonym for fire, and it starts with “bl.” So circle bl.

8. Eighth picture: It’s a loaf of bread. The word is “bread.” That starts with “br.” So circle br.

So let’s summarize:

1. Brush → br
2. Broken heart → br
3. Brownie → br
4. Blender → bl
5. Black moon → bl
6. Man with cane → br
7. Campfire (blaze) → bl
8. Bread → br

Now, let’s write them in order as they appear in the worksheet:

Top row left: brush → br
Top row right: broken heart → br
Second row left: brownie → br
Second row right: blender → bl
Third row left: black moon → bl
Third row right: man with cane → br
Fourth row left: campfire → bl
Fourth row right: bread → br

So the answers are:

br, br, br, bl, bl, br, bl, br

But let’s make sure about the man with cane. I think I’ve seen this before — it’s often “br” for “brave.” And for the moon — “black” starts with “bl,” so that’s correct. For campfire — “blaze” is a good match for “bl.”

Final decision:

1. br
2. br
3. br
4. bl
5. bl
6. br
7. bl
8. br

Yes.

Final Answer:
br, br, br, bl, bl, br, bl, br
