What is a ending blend?
A blend is when two or more consonants are blended together, but the letters in nest all make a separate sound.
ST would be an example of the consonant blend. So the word nest has the blend of st.
You sound out s and t sounds in the word nest. Nest is a word with an ending blend.
Ending blend examples are: -ct, -ft, -ld, -lf, -lk, -lp, -lt, -mp, -nd, -ng, -nk, -nt, -pt, -sk, -sp, -st.
