An enjoyable and quite personal technique to learn about the spelling 'bl'

This technique is suitable for children aged 5 through to adults. This technique

is a gentle introduction to learning about spellings beginning with the sound 'bl'. However this technique can also be applied to learning many other initial-consonant blends, including further 'l' blends like 'sl', 'r' blends like 'cr' and 'p' blends like 'sp'.

It can also be used to learn triple blends, such as 'spr' or 'str'. This technique is based on an art and craft project which engages the dyslexic or dyspraxic thoroughly and enjoyably in learning about 'bl'. This Lesson is specific to the English language, or one in which a pair of letters like 'bl' is common to the beginning of many words.
