Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: CR Blend
Sound“kr”·/kr/
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
When the letter U appears in a closed syllable, it usually makes the short U sound “uh”. This sounds like 'uh'.
Tip
U says “uh” like 'uh-oh, what's up?'
Examples
Phonics Rule: NK End Blend
Sound“ngk”·/ŋk/
NK at the end of a syllable makes the “ngk” sound, like in 'sink', 'bank', and 'drink'.
NK blends the nasal “ng” (like in 'sing') with /k/. The N in NK is not a regular /n/ — it shifts to “ng” because of the K that follows.
Tip
NK ends with a clunk — sink, bank, drink!
