Phonics breakdown
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
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!
Examples
Phonics Rule: AIR says /ɛər/
AIR makes the /ɛər/ sound, like in 'air', 'hair', and 'chair'.
AIR is an r-controlled vowel team saying /ɛər/ (the 'air' sound): air, hair, fair, chair, pair, stairs.
Tip
AIR is in the air — hair, chair, pair!
