Decoding Three Consonant Blends

This video tutorial teaches how to decode words starting with three-consonant blends. It explains the process of segmenting each phoneme and blending them to form words. The tutorial covers common mistakes, such as omitting phonemes, and provides examples with words like 'scrap' and 'scrape'. The concept of the magic e is introduced to explain vowel sounds in certain word patterns.
