    Written by Yvette Manns to help students understand initial consonant blends. 

    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.
