Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: GR Blend
G and R blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'green' and 'grow'.
The blend GR combines /ɡ/ and /r/ spoken quickly together.
Examples
Phonics Rule: OU says /uː/
OU can say the long /uː/ sound, like in 'soup', 'group', and 'you'.
OU is a flexible vowel team. Besides its common /aʊ/ sound (out, loud), it can say /uː/ as in soup, group, you, youth, and wound.
Tip
OU can say oo — soup, group, you!
Examples
Phonics Rule: Letter P
The letter P makes the /p/ sound, like in 'pan', 'pig', and 'pot'. Both lips press together then pop open.
P is a voiceless bilabial stop — both lips press together and release with a puff of air but no voice. It pairs with B (which is the voiced version of the same mouth position).
Tip
P pops open — press your lips and let it POP!
