Fry's SITE WORDS
The Fry Sight Words list is a more modern list of words and was extended to capture the most common 1,000 words. Dr. Edward Fry developed this expanded list in the 1950s (and updated it in 1980), based on the most common words to appear in reading materials used in Grades 3-9.

Blends
Phonics blends are groups of consonants whose sounds blend together

|
DIGRAPHS
Consonant digraphs refer to a joint set of consonants that form one sound. Common consonant digraphs
|
The w in wr is silent and /r/
|
|
|
Double Consonants
if a word has only one vowel and ends in F, L, or S, double the last letter, and say it once.
|
Silent E
Also known as "magic e" syllable patterns, VCe syllables contain long vowels spelled with a single letter, followed by a single consonant, and a silent e.
|
If a word ends in e, drop the e before adding –ing
|
VOWEL TEAMS
Vowel teams or vowel pairs are two adjacent vowels found in the same syllable that create one vowel sound.
Usually when two vowel are together make the sound of the first vowel.

CONTROL R
When a vowel is followed by an R, the sound of the vowel often changes and is said to be controlled by the vowel. There are three main r-controlled vowel sounds: the /ar/ sound, as in barn; the /or/ sound as in for, born, corn; and the /er/ sound, as in fern, germ, term the / ir/ bird, birth, skirt
Welded Sounds
When vowels in a closed syllable do not make their usual short sound •-ost, -olt, -old, -ind, -ild, -all, -nk and –ng: ing, ink, ang, ank, onk, ong, unk, ung
-ing, -ang, -ong -ung
-ind
|
-ank, ink, onk, unk
-ost
|
-ild and -old words
-ild, -old, -olt, -ind, -ost
|
Consonant -le
The -le becomes its own syllable at the end of the word. The consonant that comes before the -le always stays with the -le ending. The final vowel “e” is always silent, but it creates a new sound for the consonant +l.
|
Silent Letters & Hard and soft Sounds
the k is silent when it is paired with a /k/
the When a word begins or ends with the gn combination, the g is silent, but the n is pronounced. |
G says /j/ (soft sound) before i, e, or y.
• G says /g/ (hard sound) otherwise (before A, O, U, before a consonant, and at the end of words.) • Common exceptions: get, gift, girl, begin, give, gear When words contain the letters dge, “g” sounds like ”j”. The final “e” (dge) does not affect the previous vowel sound.
|
|
• C before i, e, or y usually says /s/
• C before a, o, u and consonants say /k/ |
Contractions
A contraction is a shortened form of two words written as one word in which an apostrophe takes the place of the missing letter or letters.
|
Compound, prefix and suffix words
When 2 words come together to form one word.
|
An affix attached to the beginning of a word.
|
An affix attached to the end of a word.
|
The -tion ending will always have a /shun/
|
Syllable Types
A syllable is a single, unbroken sound of a spoken (or written) word. Syllables usually contain a vowel and accompanying consonants.
A vowel is short when it is followed by a consonant. (This is called a closed syllable because the consonant closes in the vowel.)
|
When a syllable ends with a vowel, that vowel is long. (This is called an open syllable.)
|
the VCE (vowel-consonant-e) syllable type has a silent e at the end and a long vowel sound!
|
A vowel team syllable contains two vowels that come together to make one sound.
|
An unaccented final syllable containing a consonant and -le
|
A syllable in which the vowel(s) is followed by the single letter r. The vowel sound is “controlled” by the r
