Are you teaching beginning R blends? Print out this free frog themed activity to practice some of the sounds in a fun way with your kindergarten and first grade students. This spring literacy center can be set up really quickly!
With beginning sound blends, the 2 consonants are verbalized together and easily roll off the tongue. Individual letter sounds are still heard, unlike a digraph where a new sound is produced. Beginning R blends consist of a consonant followed by the letter R. Examples include br, cr, fr, etc.
