In flag, f and l both keep their sounds. That is a blend.
What is a blend?
Word: flag
sound 1f
sound 2l
sound 3a

A blend happens when two consonants stand together and you can clearly hear the sound of each letter. For example, in the word 'flag', you hear both the 'f' and the 'l' sounds.
💡 Try saying the word slowly to hear every letter sound.
