Beginning S Blends Worksheets

About this resource

A child who can pick the right blend out of three choices is not automatically a child who can

spell it with no choices printed. This gives both jobs their own page, for six beginning S blends —

sn, sp, st, sw, sk, sm — plus a Mixed S Blends review: say the picture, circle the two letters you

hear, then write the two letters that start the word.

EVERYTHING INSIDE (27 pages)

• 14 practice pages — 6 beginning S blends plus 1 mixed review, x 2 formats each: Circle It (three

letter choices) and Write It (the rest of the word is printed, write the missing letters)

• 14 pictured words, checked against two independent icon sets (Google Noto and Microsoft Fluent

High Contrast) so a wrong picture never becomes a wrong answer key — no repeats within a blend

• 1 tracker (one student, all six blends) and 1 class roll-up grid, type-in or print
• 1 team note page and 1 home-practice page
• 1 filled example, 1 phrase bank, 1 binder cover with a spine label and three divider tabs
• Start Here, a how-to-read-a-page key with a worked example of both formats, and a contents page

that gives every page number, plus a gallery of all 14 pictured words

The Two Formats, Every Blend

1. Circle It (recognition) — a picture and three letter-cluster choices underneath. Say the word,

listen for the blend, circle the one you hear.

2. Write It (production) — the same picture, the rest of the word printed, the blend left blank.

Say the word, write the two missing letters.

Every S blend in this pack opens the word, so every tile carries the same "Starts with" label —

position is never a guess. No student page carries the word "Level."

The Six Beginning Blends

sn, sp, st, sw, sk and sm, plus a Mixed S Blends review that reuses one flagship picture from each

blend for discrimination practice. A picture is only used where it names one thing and nothing

else — a wrong picture is a wrong answer key — so one blend (sm) carries only one safe pictured

word; that word repeats as fresh "Try 1 / Try 2…" practice with new letter choices or a new blank

each time, so the page is a full page of practice, not one small picture on an empty sheet. Page 5

lists exactly how many pictured words are in each blend.

Type In, Or Print

The name and date lines, the tracker, the class grid, the team note and the home page are type-in

fields in any PDF reader. The circles and the letters a student writes are always pencil work.

This is a fillable PDF; it is not a Google Slides or PowerPoint file.

Who This Is For

Kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, self-contained and resource rooms, and any teacher moving

a student from recognizing an S blend to spelling it. The home page sends the same job to a

family; the team note hands off what changed since the last meeting.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

A worksheet pack: say the picture, circle it or write it. It is NOT the cut-and-paste sort — this

store's Blends K-2 Cut and Paste Worksheets (3 levels, pieces cut apart and glued onto a word

frame) is a different product with a different task; nothing here is cut or glued. It is not a

reading assessment, not a speech-language evaluation tool, and not a claim about any student's age

or rate of progress. The how-it-works page has a blank line for your district's own criterion.
