Decode 5-phoneme words that start with 3-consonant blends in a text

This video tutorial teaches how to decode five-phoneme words starting with three-consonant blends. It explains the concept of consonant blends, both two and three-consonant types, and provides a step-by-step guide to decoding such words. Practical examples like 'stress' and 'strum' are used to illustrate the process. The lesson concludes with a review of the steps involved in decoding these words.

What is a three-consonant blend?
