Phonics breakdown
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!
