Meet the Phonics Blends: pr

What is a Phonics Blend?

Phonics blends are when two letters come together to make a special sound. Today, we are going to learn about the blend “pr.” When you put “p” and “r” together, they make the sound “prrr,” like a purring cat!

Let’s Learn Some “pr” Words!

Here are some fun words that start with the “pr” sound:

• Pretzel: A yummy snack that is twisty and salty.
• Prince: A boy who might live in a castle and wear a crown.
• Princess: A girl who might wear a beautiful dress and live in a castle.
• Pretend: When you use your imagination to play and have fun.

Let’s Practice the “pr” Sound!

Can you say “pr” like a purring cat? Try it with me: “prrr.” Great job! Now, let’s say it with some words:

• “prrr-etzel”
• “prrr-ince”
• “prrr-incess”
• “prrr-etend”

Fun Activity: Find the “pr” Sound

Let’s play a game! Look around your room or outside and see if you can find things that start with the “pr” sound. Maybe you’ll find a pretty flower or a prickly cactus!

Sing Along with the “pr” Song!

Let’s make learning fun with a song! Sing along to a tune you like and add the “pr” words you learned. Here’s a start:

“Prrr-etzel, prrr-ince, prrr-incess, prrr-etend, let’s all sing the ‘pr’ song again!”

Keep Practicing!

Remember, the more you practice, the better you’ll get at hearing and saying the “pr” sound. Keep listening for it in words and have fun learning!
