STEP 6: New Concept
These three are different from every pattern this unit — they are blends, not digraphs. In a digraph, two letters team up to make one brand-new sound. In a blend, every letter keeps its own separate sound, said quickly together. thr, str, and shr are three-letter blends. You already know every piece, today is just stacking them together.

thr
str
shr
