/str/ Blend Flashcards
Three-element /str/ (straw, street) at the single-word level. The cluster is the only /r/ in each word. A "shtr" onset (shtreet) is a common dialect variant, not an error. Builds on /st/ in /s/ Blend Flashcards (sp, st, sk) and /tr/ in /r/ Blend Sort (br, cr, dr, fr, gr, tr).
