Consonant blends are two or three consonants that make a new sound when blended. For example, the consonant blend /bl/ makes the sound you hear in the word “black.” Consonant blends can be found at words' beginning, middle, or end.

辅音连缀是指两个或三个辅音组合在一起发出新音。例如，辅音连缀 /bl/ 发出单词“black”中的音。辅音连缀可以出现在单词的开头、中间或结尾。

​Consonant Blends

A consonant blend is when two or three consonants are right next door to each other and give their sound. In other words, each sound is still pronounced separately. For example, the word “spin” has a consonant blend of /s/ and /p/.

辅音连缀是指两个或三个辅音字母相邻并发出相同的音。换句话说，每个音仍然是单独发音的。例如，“spin”这个词就包含辅音连缀，由/s/和/p/组成。

Consonant blends sometimes make it difficult for children to read and spell words because each sound must be pronounced separately. For example, the word “split” would be pronounced as /s/ + /p/ + /l/ + /i/ + /t/, not as one consonant sound /spl/.

辅音连缀有时会使儿童难以阅读和拼写单词，因为每个音都必须单独发音。例如，“split”这个词的发音是/s/ + /p/ + /l/ + /i/ + /t/，而不是一个辅音/spl/。
