A blend is made up of two or more sounds (phonemes).
A blend can occur at the beginning or end of a word.

Skills

Substitute phonemes in spoken words with an initial blend. For example, say sweep. Now say sweep, but change the /w/ to /l/. (sleep).
Substitute phonemes in spoken words with a final blend. For example, say list. Now say list, but change the /s/ to /f/. (lift).

Understanding

New words can be created by substituting, or changing, sounds (phonemes) within the word.
Blends are made of more than one sound, and they can interchange different sounds within a blend to create a new word.
