Kids Learning → Phonics → Blending Sounds → What is Blending Sounds

Overview

Blending sounds is the way we combine different sounds to make words. When we hear a word, we can break it down into smaller sounds, called phonemes. By putting these sounds together, we can say the word clearly. For example, the word 'cat' has three sounds: /k/, /a/, and /t/. Learning to blend sounds helps us read and write better!
