Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: Letter D
The letter D makes the /d/ sound, like in 'dog', 'day', and 'dig'. The tongue tip touches behind the upper teeth.
D is a voiced alveolar stop. The tongue tip touches the ridge just behind the upper front teeth, then releases with voice. It reliably makes the /d/ sound in almost all positions.
Tip
D is for dog — and dog starts with /d/!
Examples
Phonics Rule: UE Vowel Team (/uː/)
UE at the end of a word usually says 'oo', like in 'blue' and 'true'.
After L, R, S, or J, UE makes the pure /uː/ sound — no Y-glide. Examples: blue, clue, true, glue. Companion rule vowel_team_ue_yoo handles the /juː/ variant after other consonants (rescue, cue, value).
Tip
UE after L, R, S, J — says oo!
