Ask students what the blended consonants are, and draw a slash between the syllables. Words with a vowel-consonant-consonantconsonant-vowel pattern always have two blended consonants. Divide the word into syllables either before or after these two consonants in the same syllable. sur/prise vc/ccv What are the two blended consonants in this word? The p and r are blended consonants. 5 Have students sound out each syllable and blend the syllables to read the word.
