Phonics breakdown

cl

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

oy

Phonics Rule: OY Diphthong

OY makes the /ɔɪ/ sound at the end of a word, like in 'boy' and 'toy'.

OY makes the same sound as OI but appears at the end of a word or syllable. OI = middle, OY = end.

Tip

OY at the end — the boy has a toy!
