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: Silent E with Y — /aɪ/ (Magic E)
Y can be the vowel in a Magic E word, saying long I — like 'type' and 'style'.
In some words Y acts as the vowel and the silent E makes it say long I /aɪ/, just like i_e in 'bike'. Examples: type, style, rhyme, thyme.
Tip
Type in style — Y says long I with Magic E!
Examples
Phonics Rule: Letter L
The letter L makes the /l/ sound, like in 'lamp', 'leg', and 'lip'. The tongue tip touches behind the upper teeth.
L is a voiced lateral approximant — the tongue tip touches the ridge behind the upper teeth while air flows around the sides. Double L (ll) makes the same /l/ sound.
Tip
L is for lamp — light it up with /l/!
