Phonics breakdown

re

Phonics Rule: Prefix RE-

RE- means 'again'. 'Redo' means 'do again'.

The prefix re- means 'again' or 'back'. 'Read' → 'reread' (read again). 'Build' → 'rebuild' (build again).

Tip

RE means again — redo, replay, return!

Examples

d

Phonics Rule: Letter D

The letter D makes the /d/ sound, like in 'dog', 'day', and 'dig'. The tongue tip touches behind the upper teeth.

D is a voiced alveolar stop. The tongue tip touches the ridge just behind the upper front teeth, then releases with voice. It reliably makes the /d/ sound in almost all positions.

Tip

D is for dog — and dog starts with /d/!

Examples

o

Phonics Rule: O says /uː/

In a few little words the single O says 'oo', like in 'do', 'who', and 'to'.

Usually O says its short or long sound, but in a small set of common words a lone O makes the 'oo' sound /uː/ instead — do, who, to, two, into, onto, tomb, womb. These words are learned by heart.

Tip

Who will do it? O says oo!
