R-Blends worksheet for kids to practice blending sounds with illustrated words.

Explanation:
We are given a list of R-blends: Br, Cr, Dr, Fr, Gr, Pr, Tr.
For each picture, we need to fill in the blank with the correct blend so that the full word matches the image.

Let’s go one by one:

1. 🦀 Crab → word is crab → starts with Cr
So: Crab

2. 🗑️ Trash (garbage/recycling) → word is trash → starts with Tr
So: Trash

3. 🌉 Bridge → word is bridge → starts with Br
So: Bridge

4. 👑 Prince → word is prince → starts with Pr
So: Prince

5. 🛷 Drag (a man pulling a sled) → word is drag → starts with Dr
So: Drag

6. 🧱 Brick → word is brick → starts with Br — wait! But “Br” is already used for *bridge*. That’s okay — blends can repeat across items. Let’s check:
Yes, “brick” = Brick. But hold on — we have two words starting with Br? That’s fine; the task doesn’t say each blend is used only once. However, let’s double-check if any other blend fits better. No — brick clearly starts with Br.

BUT WAIT — look again: The list includes Br, and we already used it for *bridge*. Still acceptable.

7. 👑 Crown → word is crown → starts with Cr — but we already used Cr for *crab*. Again, repetition is allowed unless stated otherwise. However, let’s verify: Is there another possibility? No — crown = Crown.

Hmm — now we have two Cr words? Let’s keep going and see if any mismatch appears.

8. 🐸 Frog → word is frog → starts with Fr
So: Frog

9. 🍞 Break (broken bread/piece) → image shows broken pieces → word is break → starts with Br again? Wait — “break” = Break. But we already have crab, bridge, brick using Br. Still possible.

However — look carefully at the last word: “__eaK” — the letters given are `_ _ e a K`. So the missing part is two letters before “eak”. That fits Break → B-R-e-a-k. Yes.

10. 🍳 Grill (barbecue grill) → word is grill → starts with Gr
So: Grill

Now let’s list all the words and match blends:

- ___ab → crab → Cr
- ___ash → trash → Tr
- ___idge → bridge → Br
- ___ince → prince → Pr
- ___ag → drag → Dr
- ___ick → brick → Br ✔ (Br used twice — okay)
- ___own → crown → Cr ✔ (Cr used twice — okay)
- ___op → frog → Fr
- ___eaK → break → Br → Wait! Now Br is used *three* times? Let's double-check the image clues.

Hold on — maybe I misread one.

Look again at the 9th item: image shows two broken pieces of something red, like pottery or clay — could it be “peak”? No, “__eaK” — letters: _ _ e a K. Possible words:
- Beak? b-e-a-k → but that’s B + E, not two letters before “eak”.
- Peak = p-e-a-k → only one letter before “eak”.
- Break = b-r-e-a-k → fits Br + eak → yes, 2 letters: Br
- Freak? too long.
- Sneak? s-n-e-a-k → Sn, not in list.
The blends given are only: Br, Cr, Dr, Fr, Gr, Pr, Tr.

So only Br fits “__eaK” → Break

But now Br is used for: bridge, brick, break → 3 times. Is that a problem? The worksheet doesn’t forbid reuse. Many such worksheets allow repeats.

Let’s verify *every* answer against real words:

1. crab → Cr ✔
2. trash → Tr ✔
3. bridge → Br ✔
4. prince → Pr ✔
5. drag → Dr ✔
6. brick → Br ✔
7. crown → Cr ✔
8. frog → Fr ✔
9. break → Br ✔
10. grill → Gr ✔

Blends used:
- Br: bridge, brick, break → 3 times
- Cr: crab, crown → 2 times
- Tr: trash → 1
- Pr: prince → 1
- Dr: drag → 1
- Fr: frog → 1
- Gr: grill → 1

All blends from the list are used at least once, and no invalid blends are needed.

So the correct fills are:

- Cr ab
- Tr ash
- Br idge
- Pr ince
- Dr ag
- Br ick
- Cr own
- Fr op
- Br eaK
- Gr ill

Final Answer:
Cr, Tr, Br, Pr, Dr, Br, Cr, Fr, Br, Gr
