Phonics breakdown

re

Phonics Rule: Prefix RE-

Sound“ree”·/riː/

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

g

Phonics Rule: Soft G

Sound“j”·/dʒ/

G sometimes says “j” before E, I, or Y, like in 'gem' and 'giant'.

When G comes before E, I, or Y, it sometimes makes the soft “j” sound (like J). However, this rule has many exceptions ('get', 'give', 'girl').

Tip

G can be gentle like a giant!

Examples

i

Phonics Rule: Short I

Sound“ih”·/ɪ/

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 “ih”. This is one of the trickiest short vowels because it sounds similar to short E.

Tip

I says “ih” like an itch you can't miss.

Examples

st

Phonics Rule: ST Blend

Sound“st”·/st/

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

er

Phonics Rule: R-Controlled ER

Sound“er”·/ɜːr/

When R comes after E, it makes the “er” sound, like in 'her' and 'fern'.

ER makes the same sound as IR and UR — they all say “er”. ER is the most common spelling of this sound, especially at the end of words.

Tip

ER, IR, and UR all sound the same — Bossy R wins again!

Examples

ed

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/!
