Exploring Closed Syllables with Multiple Blends

The video tutorial teaches about reading closed syllables with five sounds. It begins with a review of closed syllables, which have one vowel closed by a consonant, making the vowel short. Blends, which are two or more consonants together, are introduced. Examples using the words 'craft' and 'blend' demonstrate how blends can occur before and after vowels in closed syllables. The tutorial concludes with a review and encourages practice with a teacher.
