Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: TR Blend
T and R blend together — you hear both sounds! Like in 'tree' and 'try'.
The blend TR combines /t/ and /r/ spoken quickly together.
Examples
Phonics Rule: UE Vowel Team (/uː/)
UE at the end of a word usually says 'oo', like in 'blue' and 'true'.
After L, R, S, or J, UE makes the pure /uː/ sound — no Y-glide. Examples: blue, clue, true, glue. Companion rule vowel_team_ue_yoo handles the /juː/ variant after other consonants (rescue, cue, value).
Tip
UE after L, R, S, J — says oo!
