Choose from a bank of 8 ending blend words to finish 8 sentences. A blend is two consonants (not vowels) side by side. You hear each sound. Every word in the word bank ends with a blend, like lk in milk. The directions on the page read: Read the words in the word bank. Then, write the word that best finishes each sentence. The answer key shows every answer.
