Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: CR Blend
C and R blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'cry' and 'cross'.
The blend CR combines /k/ and /r/ spoken quickly together.
Examples
Phonics Rule: OW (Long O Sound)
OW sometimes says long O, like in 'snow' and 'show'.
The spelling 'ow' can make the long O sound /oʊ/, especially at the end of a word. It can also make the /aʊ/ diphthong sound (like 'cow').
Tip
Snow falls slow — OW says long O!
