Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: FR Blend
F and R blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'from' and 'free'.
The blend FR combines /f/ and /r/ spoken quickly together.
Examples
Phonics Rule: EIGH Pattern
EIGH says long A, like in 'eight' and 'weight'.
The pattern EIGH makes the long A sound /eɪ/. The GH is silent. Examples: eight, weight, freight, neighbor, sleigh.
Tip
EIGH says A — eight, weight, neighbor!
Examples
Phonics Rule: Letter T
The letter T makes the /t/ sound, like in 'top', 'tap', and 'ten'. The tongue tip taps behind the upper teeth.
T is a voiceless alveolar stop. The tongue tip touches the ridge behind the upper teeth and releases with a puff of air. Double T (tt) makes the same /t/ sound.
Tip
T taps — touch your tongue to make /t/!
