Task: Read and Highlight

Objective: Identify words that end with final blends containing "t" and "l" (like "-lt", "-ft", "-st", etc.). Then, highlight or circle those words. Finally, write a sentence using two of the words.

---

Step 1: Understand Final Blends

Final blends are combinations of consonants at the end of a word that make a distinct sound. We're looking for blends ending in "t" or "l", such as:
- -nt (e.g., *pant*)
- -ft (e.g., *shift*)
- -lt (e.g., *melt*)
- -st (e.g., *steps*)
- -lk (e.g., *milk*) — but note: this is not a blend with "t" or "l" as final letters; it’s a blend ending in "k"
- -fl (e.g., *flips*), but again, we need to check if it ends in "t" or "l"

We are specifically focusing on final blends with "t" and "l" — so look for endings like:
- -t (but only if part of a blend)
- -l (again, in a blend)

But actually, the instruction says "final blends with t and l" — likely meaning words ending in consonant blends that include 't' or 'l' — so let's find all words ending in -nt, -ft, -lt, -st, -lk, -lp, -mp, -sk, etc., especially those with "t" or "l" in the final blend.

So, we’ll identify words ending in consonant blends where either 't' or 'l' is part of the final blend.

Let’s go through each word:

| Word | Ends in? | Final Blend? | Contains 't' or 'l'? |
|--------|----------|--------------|----------------------|
| fact | -ct | Yes | Yes ('t') |
| chant | -nt | Yes | Yes ('t') |
| shelf | -lf | Yes | Yes ('l') |
| next | -xt | Yes | Yes ('t') |
| silk | -lk | Yes | Yes ('l') |
| soft | -ft | Yes | Yes ('t') |
| pant | -nt | Yes | Yes ('t') |
| flips | -ps | Yes | No |
| gulp | -lp | Yes | Yes ('l') |
| loft | -ft | Yes | Yes ('t') |
| milk | -lk | Yes | Yes ('l') |
| quilt | -lt | Yes | Yes ('l', 't') |
| steps | -ps | Yes | No |
| wilt | -lt | Yes | Yes ('l', 't') |
| melts | -ts | Yes | Yes ('t') |
| shift | -ft | Yes | Yes ('t') |
| grin | -n | No | No |
| left | -ft | Yes | Yes ('t') |

Now, let's highlight or circle the words that have final blends with 't' or 'l'.

✔ Words to Highlight/Circle:

These are the ones with final blends including 't' or 'l':

- fact → -ct (has 't')
- chant → -nt (has 't')
- shelf → -lf (has 'l')
- next → -xt (has 't')
- silk → -lk (has 'l')
- soft → -ft (has 't')
- pant → -nt (has 't')
- gulp → -lp (has 'l')
- loft → -ft (has 't')
- milk → -lk (has 'l')
- quilt → -lt (has 'l' and 't')
- wilt → -lt (has 'l' and 't')
- melts → -ts (has 't')
- shift → -ft (has 't')
- left → -ft (has 't')

✘ Words not to highlight:
- flips → -ps (no 't' or 'l')
- steps → -ps (no 't' or 'l')
- grin → -n (no blend, no 't' or 'l')

Wait — "flips" has an 'l' in the middle, but the final blend is -ps, so it doesn't count. Same with "steps".

So the correct words to highlight are:

> ✔ fact, chant, shelf, next, silk, soft, pant, gulp, loft, milk, quilt, wilt, melts, shift, left

Note: Even though "flips" has an 'l', the final blend is -ps, so it does not contain 't' or 'l' in the final blend. So it should not be highlighted.

Step 2: Write a Sentence Using Two of the Words

Choose two of the highlighted words and write a sentence.

Example:

> I drank a glass of milk and then took a sip from my flask.

But wait — "flask" isn’t on the list. Let's pick two words from the list.

Try:

> The cat sat on the shelf and watched the milk spill.

Words used: shelf, milk — both are on the list and were highlighted.

Another example:

> She gave a soft grunt when she felt the shift in the wind.

Words: soft, shift

Or simpler:

> I melted the butter and left the pan on the shelf.

Words: melted (from melts), left, shelf

But “melted” isn't on the list — only melts is.

So use melts and left:

> The snow melts quickly when the sun comes out, and I left my mittens inside.

That works!

✔ Final Answer:

#### Highlighted Words (to circle or highlight):
- fact
- chant
- shelf
- next
- silk
- soft
- pant
- gulp
- loft
- milk
- quilt
- wilt
- melts
- shift
- left

(Do not highlight: flips, steps, grin)

#### Sentence Example:
> The quilt on the bed feels soft, and I left it there after I finished reading.

This uses quilt and left — both are on the list and were highlighted.
