What Is A Blend?
A blend is when two or more consonants are blended together, but the letters in blends all make a separate sound.
SC would be an example of the consonant blend. So the word scale has the blend of sc.
You sound out s and c sounds in the word.
Beginning blend examples are: bl, br, cl, cr, dr, fl, fr, gl, gr, pl, pr, sc, sk, sl, sm, sn, sp, st, sw, tr.
