Beginning Consonant Blends and Digraphs: Charts and Posters

Learning blends and digraphs is an important part of developing English reading skills. Teachers should pay a lot of attention to these frequently occurring letter patterns as the ability to quickly recognize them is the key factor to reading fluency. When working with struggling readers or kids in the early stages of learning to read in English, a teacher needs to spend many hours with them practicing reading relevant words and pronouncing blends and digraphs sounds. Such monotonous activities may get boring for children pretty quickly. That is why I do my best to use bright visuals and picture-based worksheets to get young students’ attention and maintain their interest as long as possible. And I’d like to share some printable charts and posters I have designed to make my lessons dedicated to consonant blends and digraphs more visually appealing to kids.










I’m a big advocate of visual aids for young students learning foreign languages. I design a lot of own printable visuals for my English classes. I have recently designed a number of bright picture-based charts, posters and a few worksheets for my lessons dedicated to beginning consonant blends and digraphs. In this post I’d like to publish the charts and the posters. I’ll share the worksheets in one of the upcoming blog posts. I hope my fellow EFL and ESL teachers will find these resources useful too.

Phonics Flashcards (Consonants Bb, Cc and Ff)

My printable phonics flashcards proved to be quite popular among ESL teachers from all over the world. No wonder. English is considered to be a tough language to read. There are too many exceptions to spelling and pronunciation rules, so lots of kids who study English as their second language find it challenging to learn reading in English. My phonics flashcards are designed to point out some spelling patterns and corresponding sounds. These cards are helpful both for teachers and students as they present some example words that should be introduced to students to help them understand how the same letters can make different sounds in English words depending on their place in the word and the adjacent letters. All the words presented in the flashcards are easy to read and memorize as I have selected some of the most frequently used ones for each case.


Till today I had only completed flashcards for vowel sounds, however I took some time to work on consonant phonics too, so a set of English consonant flashcards is ready now. There are 124 flashcards in the consonant set. I’ll be posting all of them here in my blog over the time. If you need them right now, you are welcome to purchase them in a printer-friendly PDF document. The document has high resolution flashcards images for easy and high quality printing. Just follow the links above to make a purchase in my store.







In today’s post I’d like to show you the first 28 consonant phonics flashcards.

Bb: cards №№1-2 present words with the sound [b] at the beginning and the end of the words. Card №3 contains words with the silent B. Cards №№4-5 present the blends bl, br.
