Cluster Fix

The Cluster Fix worksheet challenges students to become careful proofreaders by correcting sentences that contain incorrectly spelled beginning blends. Learners must read each sentence closely, identify the blend error at the start of a word, and then rewrite the entire sentence correctly. This process strengthens phonics accuracy while also reinforcing editing habits, sentence structure, and handwriting skills. By working with common blends such as tr, cl, br, and sl, students build confidence recognizing what looks right and sounds right in print.
