Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: FL Blend
F and L blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'flag' and 'fly'.
The blend FL combines /f/ and /l/ spoken quickly together.
Examples
Phonics Rule: OUR says /aʊər/
OUR can make the /aʊər/ sound, like in 'hour', 'sour', and 'flour'.
OUR can also say /aʊər/ (like 'ow' + 'er'): hour, sour, flour, scour, devour.
Tip
One hour is sour — hour, sour, flour!
