Phonics breakdown
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/!
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!
