Meet the Phonics Blends – Jump Out Segment

Let’s Learn About Phonics Blends!

Hello, little friend! Today, we are going to have some fun with sounds and words. We will learn about something called “phonics blends.” Phonics blends are when two letters come together to make a special sound. Let’s explore some of these sounds with fun words and pictures!

Drum and Draw

Can you say “drum”? It starts with a “dr” sound. Imagine playing a drum and making music! Now, let’s try “draw.” You can draw a picture with crayons. Both words start with the “dr” sound. Isn’t that cool?

Plug and Pliers

Next, we have “plug” and “pliers.” They both start with a “pl” sound. A plug goes into the wall to give power, and pliers are tools that help us fix things. Can you say “pl” with me?

Desk and Flakes

Now, let’s look at “desk” and “flakes.” They start with a “d” and “f” sound. A desk is where you can color and do fun activities, and flakes are tiny pieces, like snowflakes or cereal flakes. Can you imagine them?

Price and Chest

Here we have “price” and “chest.” “Price” starts with a “pr” sound, and “chest” starts with a “ch” sound. A price tells us how much something costs, and a chest is a box where you can keep treasures. Let’s say “pr” and “ch” together!

Claw and Glue

Next up are “claw” and “glue.” “Claw” starts with a “cl” sound, and “glue” starts with a “gl” sound. A claw is like a sharp nail, and glue helps stick things together. Can you pretend to use a claw and glue?

Grass and Small

Let’s talk about “grass” and “small.” “Grass” starts with a “gr” sound, and “small” starts with an “sm” sound. Grass is green and grows outside, and small means tiny. Can you find something small around you?

Train and Space

Here we have “train” and “space.” “Train” starts with a “tr” sound, and “space” starts with an “sp” sound. A train goes choo-choo on tracks, and space is the big sky above us with stars. Let’s pretend to be a train!

Closed and From

Now, let’s look at “closed” and “from.” “Closed” starts with a “cl” sound, and “from” starts with an “fr” sound. When something is closed, it means shut, and from tells us where something comes. Can you close your eyes and open them?

Fruit and Slaw

Next, we have “fruit” and “slaw.” “Fruit” starts with an “fr” sound, and “slaw” starts with an “sl” sound. Fruit is yummy and healthy, and slaw is a salad made with cabbage. Do you like fruit?

Slope and Snacks

Let’s talk about “slope” and “snacks.” “Slope” starts with an “sl” sound, and “snacks” starts with an “sn” sound. A slope is a slanted surface, and snacks are little bites to eat. What is your favorite snack?

Brush and Swim

Here we have “brush” and “swim.” “Brush” starts with a “br” sound, and “swim” starts with an “sw” sound. A brush helps keep things clean, and swimming is fun in the water. Can you pretend to swim?

Blue and Cream

Finally, we have “blue” and “cream.” “Blue” starts with a “bl” sound, and “cream” starts with a “cr” sound. Blue is a color like the sky, and cream is smooth and yummy. Can you find something blue around you?
