Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: SN Blend
S and N blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'snow' and 'snap'.
The blend SN combines /s/ and /n/ spoken quickly together.
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!
