Dropping or changing sounds
When a consonant cluster comes at the end of a word, we sometimes delete the middle consonant sound or transform the sounds to make them easier to say. For example, asked sometimes sounds like ast.
Watch this video about how to do that. Listen and repeat the consonant cluster sounds.
Listen again to these words from the video and practice the final consonant cluster sounds.
