Phonics Rule: DR Blend
Sound“dr”·/dr/
D and R blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'drop' and 'drink'.
The blend DR combines /d/ and /r/ spoken quickly together.
Examples
When the letter A appears in a closed syllable (a syllable that ends with a consonant), it usually makes the short A sound “a”. This is one of the first vowel sounds students learn.
Tip
A says “a” like a cat that sat on a mat.
