Get Ready to Master L-Blend Words with Digital Phonics Instruction

Let’s dive into L-blend words with a twist. Put away the letter tiles, recap those dry erase markers, and dive into digital reading center activities!

With this collection of interactive Google Slides, students will group, match, spell, and write sentences featuring L-blend words.

Students will participate in word-building activities featuring initial L-blends:

• sl
• gl
• pl
• bl
• cl
• fl

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your phonics lessons. 

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity as a guided reading group, whole-class, or remote learning assignment.

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Provide read-aloud assistance if needed. Pre-teach L-blends and work through similar spelling activities before independent work.

Additionally, students can work with a partner to complete the task.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Have students select words from the sort and write sentences to make a story. If students aren’t quite ready for sentence writing, they can write lists of other L-blend words.

🧑‍🏫 Class Review
