Endings that stack: hand, lamp, milk

Two consonants at the end of a word. Research says final clusters are the easier kind — the vowel is already done, so the consonants just close the door one after the other. Don't add a vowel between them: hand, not hand-uh.

Now say it yourself

Read each word from its sheet, out loud, three times. Where there's a play button, listen first and copy what you hear. Slow is fine — clear beats fast.

Listen for the two-step ending each time: n…d, m…p, l…k. Two sounds, no vowel between.
