Phonics Worksheets: L-Family Blends - Free Printable

Problem Description:

The task involves identifying the name of each picture and circling the sound that begins with the corresponding letter blend. The blends provided are bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, and sl.

Solution:

#### Step 1: Identify the Name of Each Picture
We will analyze each image and determine its name:

1. First Row:
- Image 1: A fork and knife on a plate → plate
- Image 2: An American flag → flag
- Image 3: A person holding up a shirt → shirt

2. Second Row:
- Image 4: A flower → flower
- Image 5: A block with the letter "A" → block
- Image 6: An electrical plug → plug

3. Third Row:
- Image 7: A slide → slide
- Image 8: A bottle of glue → glue
- Image 9: A clock → clock

#### Step 2: Determine the Initial Sound for Each Word
Now, we identify the initial sound (blend) for each word:

1. First Row:
- Plate: Begins with pl
- Flag: Begins with fl
- Shirt: Begins with sh (not one of the given blends)

2. Second Row:
- Flower: Begins with fl
- Block: Begins with bl
- Plug: Begins with pl

3. Third Row:
- Slide: Begins with sl
- Glue: Begins with gl
- Clock: Begins with cl

#### Step 3: Circle the Correct Blend
For each image, circle the blend that matches the initial sound of the word:

1. First Row:
- Image 1 (plate): Circle pl
- Image 2 (flag): Circle fl
- Image 3 (shirt): No match (skip or note "sh")

2. Second Row:
- Image 4 (flower): Circle fl
- Image 5 (block): Circle bl
- Image 6 (plug): Circle pl

3. Third Row:
- Image 7 (slide): Circle sl
- Image 8 (glue): Circle gl
- Image 9 (clock): Circle cl

Final Answer:

- Image 1 (plate): Circle pl
- Image 2 (flag): Circle fl
- Image 3 (shirt): No match (skip)
- Image 4 (flower): Circle fl
- Image 5 (block): Circle bl
- Image 6 (plug): Circle pl
- Image 7 (slide): Circle sl
- Image 8 (glue): Circle gl
- Image 9 (clock): Circle cl

Explanation:

This exercise helps students practice recognizing initial sounds in words and associating them with specific letter blends. By identifying the correct blend for each word, students reinforce their understanding of phonics and word pronunciation. Note that "shirt" does not start with any of the provided blends, so it is marked as skipped or noted separately.

Final Answer:
\boxed{
\text{Circle: pl, fl, skip, fl, bl, pl, sl, gl, cl}
}
