Elementary consonant clusters things in common

Use the consonant clusters or words with consonant clusters below to find things that you share with your partner, then try to find things that you have in common and other groups in the class don’t. Your teacher will tell you if you should use the consonant clusters and/ or the words. Note that the clusters represent the sounds, so any spelling of those sounds is okay.

Useful language for finding similarities with
