Phonics breakdown
Phonics Rule: Letter V
The letter V makes the /v/ sound, like in 'van', 'vet', and 'vine'. Upper teeth touch the lower lip with voice.
V is a voiced labiodental fricative — the upper front teeth rest on the lower lip while air and voice flow through. It is the voiced partner of F. English words rarely end in V; they usually add an E (have, live, give).
Tip
V is for van — /v/ vibrates your lips!
Examples
Phonics Rule: IE Vowel Team (Long E)
When IE appears in the middle of a word, it usually says long E, like in 'piece' and 'chief'.
The vowel team IE makes the long E sound /iː/ in the middle of a word. Examples: piece, chief, field, shield, brief. Remember: I before E except after C.
Tip
IE in the middle says EE — piece, chief, field!
Examples
Phonics Rule: Letter W
The letter W makes the /w/ sound, like in 'win', 'wet', and 'web'. The lips round into an O shape.
W is a voiced bilabial approximant — the lips round tightly then open as voice flows. W is sometimes silent (write, wrong) and can act as a vowel in some combinations (aw, ew, ow).
Tip
W rounds your lips — make an O then say /w/!
