- You will note that we are spending this whole week on lesson 52. Beginning blends, especially r blends, can take a little longer for students to master. Please make sure that you give this lesson full attention each day, even though we are spending a whole week on it. It can be quite common for students (and adults!) to miss the pronunciation of r blends. A common mistake that we will be working on clarifying is the tr blend. This blend is often mistakenly pronounced as chr. It is especially important to pay attention to mouth and tongue placement during this lesson!
