Elementary consonant clusters storytelling

Elementary consonant clusters storytelling

Work together to use as many words with consonant clusters as you can ask you make up a story. If you are not sure how to start, use one of these:

• “Jane woke up late”
• “Jane suddenly realised she was lost”
• “A strange man entered the café”

Your teacher will tell what pack of packs of cards you should use to help you in using many consonant clusters. If you are using the consonant cluster cards, any spelling with those sounds are okay.

Ask about any words which you couldn’t use in your stories, are not sure that you pronounced correctly, etc.

Write a consonant in each gap below to make a one-syllable word with a consonant cluster.
