Phonics & Homophone Rules to Remember:

1. Homophones Hour vs. Our: Hour starts with a silent h and measures time (60 minutes). Our means belonging to us.

2. Broad A Sound (ạ): When followed by ll, lk, or lt, a makes the broad sound /ɔː/ (like all, walk, salt).

3. Silent L in -alk: In words like talk, walk, stalk, chalk, do not pronounce the l!
