The combined consonants in a "consonant blend" are each heard with their original sound, such as BL in the word black, where the B and L are both distinct.
Some blends are :
BL, CL, FL, GL, SL
BR, CR, DR, FR, GR, PR, TR
SC, SK, SM, SN, SP, ST, SW
Other consonant groups are more difficult because they change to a different sound (like CH or PH) or have silent letters (like CHR or WH).
Words with consonant blends are easier to spell when they only have a single consonant. In general, they can only have to three consonants.

Words with consonant blends are easier to spell when they only have a single consonant. In general, they can only have to three consonants.
The three major types of consonant blends are initial blends (blends at the beginning of a word, e.g., "bl"), final blends (blends at the end of a word, e.g., "st"), and medial blends (blends in the middle of a word, e.g., "sk").

Some examples of words with consonant blends include: "blender," "street," "splash," and "chopstick." These words have two or more consonants that are pronounced together without a vowel sound in between.
A consonant bigraph is a combination of two consonant letters that make a single sound, such as "sh" in ship or "ch" in chat. They are often taught in phonics to help students understand sound blends in words.
The word "blends" cannot be syllabicated as it only has one syllable.

Why don't you look at your question a little closer? I see two words that start with consonant blends. Instead of pronouncing the initial consonants separately, they are blended together. Try pronouncing them together and seeing how they sound.

To divide words into syllables effectively, look for vowel sounds and consonant patterns. Divide between vowels or before or after consonant blends. Practice with different words to improve your skills.
