Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: CL Blend
C and L blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'class' and 'clean'.
The blend CL combines /k/ and /l/ spoken quickly together.
Examples
Phonics Rule: EAR says /ɪər/
EAR usually makes the /ɪər/ sound, like in 'ear', 'hear', and 'near'.
EAR most often says /ɪər/ (the 'ear' sound): ear, hear, near, year, clear, dear, fear.
Tip
Hear with your ear — hear, near, year!
Examples
Phonics Rule: Suffix -ED (/d/ sound)
After voiced sounds like /b/, /g/, /n/, -ED says /d/, like in 'played' and 'named'.
After voiced consonants and vowels, -ed says /d/. The E is silent.
Tip
After a buzzy sound, -ED says /d/!
