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").
