OK, detective. Track down consonant blends in this story. READ the story. CIRCLE each word that starts with a consonant blend. FILL IN the blanks with the words.
The people of France couldn’t sleep because a creepy dragon prowled the land. It crushed houses every night. Its claws broke branches off trees. Its breath fried the grass. What a problem! One night, it tried to trap the prince. But then it yelped and flew away. “It’s scared of me,” said a grinning spider sitting on the ground nearby. “Pretty great!”
