📚 Rules to Remember • Week 21

Rule 1 • Phonogram <aw> at Word Ends

Phonogram aw is used at the end of base words because English words do not end in u (saw, draw).

Rule 2 • <w> Changes <or> to Say /er/

The letter w changes the sound of or that follows it, making it say /er/ (work, word, world).

Rule 3 • Open <o-> Says Long /ō/

In open first syllables ending in a vowel, o says its long sound /ō/ (o•pen, o•ver, on•ly).

Rule 4 • Homophone Distinctions: <rap> vs. <wrap>

Rap (knock/strike, begins with r) vs. wrap (enclose/bundle, begins with silent w: wr-).
