Beginning Blends!
After teaching letter l blend now it is time to teach letter r blend. Like bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, we also teach letter r blend br, cr, fr, gr, pr.
Consonant blend with letter ‘r’ is little difficult for pre primary kids to understand. Start explaining how b and r blend together as in broom.
Read out the br words as
br + eak — black
br + oom — block
This will help them understand how to blend b r.

Phonics Books from Dreamland publications 5-Book Pack – Complete Phonics Journey for Ages 3–10
If you are looking for a complete and engaging resource to support your child’s reading journey, I highly recommend the Phonics Reader 5 Books Pack for Children Age 3–10 Years. While the Just Phonics Set focuses mainly on early years (ages 3–5) with a step-by-step spiral approach to letter sounds and CVC blending, the Phonics Reader Pack goes a step further by covering a much wider age range (3–10 years) and introducing more advanced concepts such as short and long vowel sounds, word families, blends, combination sounds, and tricky words. Each book contains 56 colorful activity pages, with cute designs and answers included, making it parent-friendly as well. This pack not only builds on the basics but also extends learning into rhyming, spelling patterns, and word recognition, ensuring children continue to strengthen their reading and writing skills as they grow. It’s a resourceful choice for parents who want both early practice and long-term support in their child’s literacy journey.
