Phonics Rules


Phonics Rules

Phonics refers to associating letters or letter groups with the sound they represent .

Phonic rules

Every syllable in every word must contain a vowel. E.g. Ba-ker, Be- cause, Eng- lish.


When “c” is followed by “e, i or y”, it usually has a soft sound of “s” E.g. city.

When “g” is followed by “e, i, or y” it usually has the soft sound of “j”. E.g. gem, gist, gym.

A consonant digraph is two or more consonants that are grouped together and represent a single word. E.g. Wh-at, sh-out, wr-ite, kn-ow, th-at, wat-ch, ph-ilisophy, ri-ng,

When a syllable ends with a consonant and has only one vowel, that vowel is short. E.g. Tap, bed, wish, lock, bug.

When a syllable ends in a silent “E”, the vowel that comes before the silent “E” is long. Take, gene. Bite, hope, fuse.

When a syllable has two vowels together, the second vowel is silent. E.g. stain

When a syllable ends in a vowel and is the only vowel, that vowel is usually long. E.g. ba-ker, be-come, bi-sect, go-ing, fu-ture.

When a vowel is followed by “R” in the same syllable, the vowel is neither long nor short. E.g. charm, shirt, corn, surf.
