Content Summary:
Consonants are the all the letters of the alphabet excluding the vowels such as a.e.i.o.u.
Consonant blends (also called consonant clusters) are a collection of two or three
different consonant sounds that are each heard when the word is pronounced. For
example, let's look at the word "blink." Both the letters "b" and "l" are consonants. When
the word "blink" is pronounced, you can clearly hear the sounds of both of these letters,
making it a consonant blend. Each letter within the blend is pronounced individually, but
quickly, so they blend together.
