Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: SM Blend
S and M blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'small' and 'smile'.
The blend SM combines /s/ and /m/ spoken quickly together.
Examples
Phonics Rule: OO (Long Sound)
OO often makes the long sound, like in 'moon' and 'food'.
The vowel team 'oo' has two sounds. The long sound /uː/ is more common and appears in words like 'moon', 'food', and 'school'.
Tip
OO like the moon — ooooo!
Examples
Phonics Rule: TH Digraph (Voiced)
TH can make a buzzy sound /ð/, like in 'this' and 'the'. You can feel your throat vibrate!
The voiced TH /ð/ is the vibrating version. Put your hand on your throat — you can feel it buzz. This sound appears in very common words like 'the', 'this', 'that', 'they'.
Tip
Voiced TH buzzes — this, that, the!
Examples
Phonics Rule: Suffix -EST
Adding -EST means 'the most', like 'biggest' and 'fastest'.
The suffix -est makes a superlative — it means 'the most' of something. 'Big' → 'biggest' means the most big of all.
