✏️ When do we use ‘ai’ or ‘ay’ for the /ai/ sound?

👉 ai is usually found in the middle of a word:
rain • train • paint • snail

👉 ay is usually found at the end of a word or syllable:
play • stay • day • Sunday

💡 Easy way to remember:
AI in the middle, AY at the end!

✏️ When do we use tch or ch?

When the /ch/ sound comes straight after a short vowel sound, we usually use tch:

match • fetch • pitch • notch • hutch

For all other sounds, we usually use ch:

lunch • bench • march • crunch

⚠️ Watch out for the exceptions!
much • which • such • rich

These have a short vowel sound but still use ch.

💡 Remember:
Short vowel? TCH!
All others? CH!
But much, which, such and rich break the rule!

If it ends with a /v/, you must add an e! ✏️

English words don’t usually end in the letter v, so we add a silent e:

have • give • love • live • save

An easy spelling rule for your child to remember!

How to Teach oi and oy Without Confusing Your Child

Caption:
Does your child always mix up oi and oy? Here’s the simple rule they need to know:

✅ oi goes in the middle of a word.
✅ oy goes at the end of a word.

Once children understand this pattern, spelling words like coin, join, toy and enjoy becomes much easier.

Follow for more simple phonics and spelling tips to help your child succeed at home.

Start with the curly caterpillar letters because they all follow the same movement pattern. Once your child has mastered one, the others become much easier.

If you’d like a detailed video showing exactly how to teach each letter formation, comment “LETTER” and I’ll record one for you.

Want your child to learn handwriting, phonics, reading and writing in a small, supportive group? Comment “CLASS” to find out more about my online group classes starting this term.

Part 1- how to teach your child to read using phonics. This is a four part series. Series one is focused on introducing gpc which means matching letters to their sounds. Start with the first 6 sounds then build on it. You can also play initial sound games and do some oral blending

07/07/2026

Start with these six sounds when teaching reading.

We really don’t need to overcomplicate teaching reading. 📚

Start with a small set of sounds, teach your child how to blend them together, then gradually introduce more letters and words. Before long, they’ll be reading simple books and building confidence with every page.

Reading isn’t a race. Consistent practice with the right foundations makes all the difference. ❤️
