Consonant blends through a smoothie-shop story

A beach outing leads the consonants to Sly’s smoothie store, where a problem with the shop gives them a reason to work together. The story introduces initial consonant blends, including two- and three-letter combinations, and connects the idea to adjacent consonants that keep their own sounds at the beginnings of syllables and words. Its classroom framing places it after learners have encountered CVC words, with the book usable around a literacy lesson or as a read-aloud before instruction.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Elementary students beginning to learn initial consonant blends after CVC words
  • Adults seeking a phonics read-aloud or teaching aid for literacy lessons

Book overview

After a fun day at the beach, the consonants decide to go to their friend Sly's smoothie store, but they discover a big problem. With the help of Sly's new blender, they create initial consonant blends. Will they be able to work together to solve Sly's dilemma?

This phonics tale is a great teaching aid for elementary students and literacy lovers, alike!

This is best used with students who've learned CVC words and are being introduced to the initial consonant blends. This can be used before, during, or after your literacy lessons, or as a read-aloud before explaining the concept of adjacent consonants that retain their own sound at the beginning of syllables and words. Please note this book includes two and three letter initial consonant blends.
