Important Notes:

* Consonant Clusters: A consonant cluster is a group of two or more consonants that appear together without any vowels in between.

* Initial: The consonant cluster must be at the beginning of a word or syllable.

* Common Clusters: Some consonant clusters are more common than others. For example, "bl", "br", "cl", and "gr" are very frequent.

* Sound Combinations: The consonants in a cluster might sound like a single sound (like "ch" in "chair") or they might be pronounced individually.
