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: 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
Phonics Rule: ORE says /ɔːr/
ORE at the end of a word makes the /ɔːr/ sound, like in 'more' and 'store'.
ORE says /ɔːr/ (the 'or' sound): more, store, before, score, shore, explore. The E is part of the team.
Tip
One more, please — more, store, score!
