Rhyming

Phonemes are the individual sounds that makes up the sound.

Practice:

A: Mouse B: Gross C: Weight

The sound W

The letter W can substitute for the vowel u.

When W acts as a vowel it will follow an A, E, or O.

Examples are like paw, new and grow.

W can act as its own sound.

Example of this would be whick

The letter Y

The letter Y can sometimes substitute for the letter I. When it does do this, it is considered a vowel.

A brev is a half circle that goes above the short vowel sound.

Gym would have the brev above the y sound since it is acting as an I sound
