Consonant Cluster Word Banks
Consonant Cluster Word Banks allow children to practice specific consonant clusters that they find challenging to perceive or to spell. Children typically find the second sound in initial consonant clusters, and the first sound in final consonant clusters difficult. These word banks are organised by cluster type and by word length, allowing games and activities to focus on precisely the letter blends they are finding challenging. Lists are divided into consonant blends for short vowel words, and then a more challenging set of consonant blends for long vowel words.

Teaching Consonant Clusters
This book extract focuses on how to teach children to blend and segment initial and final consonant clusters. It explores confusable pairs, which can be especially problematic for children with English as an additional langauge or who have speech and language difficulties.
