A good way to first practice blending with your child is for you to sound out the words.  So if they have sounded out the word but they're struggling to blend it together sound it out to them and see if they can blend it when you sound it out.  Model sounding it out quicker and quicker to see if they can hear the word.  

This video may help with demonstrating what this might look like for you at home:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEzfpod5w_Q

The Alphablocks is also a great way to model this, you can watch this online at: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b01cz0p1/alphablocks and this video is around 20 minutes long but is a good introduction and pace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxBEmaaSh1c
