Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: Letter P
Sound“p”·/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!
Examples
Phonics Rule: OUR says “or”
Sound“or”·/ɔːr/
OUR can make the “or” sound, like in 'four', 'pour', and 'your'.
OUR is a flexible team. It can say “or” (the 'or' sound): four, pour, your, court, mourn.
Tip
Pour me four — four, pour, your!
Examples
Phonics Rule: Suffix -ED (/d/ sound)
Sound“d”·/d/
After voiced sounds like /b/, /g/, /n/, -ED says /d/, like in 'played' and 'named'.
After voiced consonants and vowels, -ed says /d/. The E is silent.
Tip
After a buzzy sound, -ED says /d/!
