📖 RULES TO REMEMBER • LESSON 62
Rule 1 • Digraph
ōa
When
o
and
a
stand together, they spell the long
ō
sound (/oʊ/) as in
boat
and
coat
.
Rule 2 • Adding Suffix -ing
When adding
-ing
to a root word ending in a consonant (
roar → roaring
,
foam → foaming
), simply add the suffix.
Rule 3 • Sound of -oar • -oard
When followed by
r
, the digraph
oa
blends into /ɔːr/ as in
oar
,
roar
, and
board
.
