Letter blends are how sound together to make words. There are digraphs (2 letters that make 1 sound) such as 'sh', 'wr' 'ch', 'ay' and 'oo'. There are consonant blends (2-3 letters that combine yet maintain their individual sound) such as 'tr,' 'bl,' '-mp' and 'spl." And there are tricky blends called diphthongs (when a vowel glides together with another letter) as in the words "coin" or "brown." You and your child will master all of this and more in STEP 3!
