These six exercises combine several consonant movements in a short phrase. Work on one small word group before reading the whole line. The aim is to keep the message intelligible when you return to an ordinary speaking pace.
Choose a place where a word ending meets the next beginning. Read that small group slowly without losing either word. Add the rest of the phrase, then use the ordinary sentence to check that your careful reading still sounds like a message someone might actually say.
Say the whole passage at a pace that lets you hear every word. Notice one part to repeat.
Repeat the difficult part, then read the complete passage at a comfortable pace. Choose clarity before speed.
