Here are some simple rules of phonics: Letter Sounds: Each letter has a sound (e.g., "b" sounds like "buh"). Blending: Combine individual sounds to make words (e.g., "c-a-t" becomes "cat"). Short Vowels: Vowels (a, e, i, o, u) usually have a short sound in simple words (e.g., "cat," "bed"). Long...

Here are some simple rules of phonics:

 

Letter Sounds: Each letter has a sound (e.g., "b" sounds like "buh").

Blending: Combine individual sounds to make words (e.g., "c-a-t" becomes "cat").

Short Vowels: Vowels (a, e, i, o, u) usually have a short sound in simple words (e.g., "cat," "bed").

Long Vowels: Vowels can say their name when followed by a silent "e" or in vowel pairs (e.g., "make," "see").

Consonant Digraphs: Two consonants can make one sound (e.g., "sh," "ch").

Vowel Digraphs: Two vowels together can make one sound (e.g., "ee," "oa").

Silent Letters: Some letters are silent in certain words (e.g., "kn," "wr").

R-Controlled Vowels: Vowels followed by "r" change their sound (e.g., "car," "bird").

C and G Rules: "C" and "G" can sound soft (like "s" and "j") before "e," "i," and "y" (e.g., "cent," "gym").

Y as a Vowel: "Y" can act as a vowel and sound like "i" or "e" (e.g., "my," "baby").

Why do letter names exist in parallel with their phonic sounds?
It goes back to the days of Latin, since unlike the Greek alphabet, which had actual names for its letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon etc.), it mostly took the sound that the letter stood for and if needed added an /e/ (short or long) to it
