Phonics breakdown

l

Phonics Rule: Letter L

The letter L makes the /l/ sound, like in 'lamp', 'leg', and 'lip'. The tongue tip touches behind the upper teeth.

L is a voiced lateral approximant — the tongue tip touches the ridge behind the upper teeth while air flows around the sides. Double L (ll) makes the same /l/ sound.

Tip

L is for lamp — light it up with /l/!

Examples

i

Phonics Rule: Short I

The letter I makes a short sound, like in 'sit' and 'big'.

When the letter I appears in a closed syllable, it usually makes the short I sound /ɪ/. This is one of the trickiest short vowels because it sounds similar to short E.

Tip

I says /ɪ/ like an itch you can't miss.

Examples

st

Phonics Rule: ST Blend

S and T blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'stop' and 'fast'.

The blend ST combines /s/ and /t/ spoken quickly together. It can appear at the beginning or end of a word.

Examples

ed

Phonics Rule: Suffix -ED (/ɪd/ sound)

After T or D, -ED says /ɪd/ as an extra syllable, like in 'wanted' and 'needed'.

When the base word ends in T or D, -ed adds a whole new syllable /ɪd/. This is the only time the E in -ed is pronounced.

Tip

After T or D, -ED gets its own beat — want-ED, need-ED!
