The final Phonics app in the Hairies series! Learning phonics is the best way to learn to read and spell.  Now introducing, vowel-r and magic ‘e’. 

Vowel-R
When the letter ‘r’ follows a vowel, the vowel is forced to change its sound. 

Magic-E
Magic E states when the letter sits at the end of the word it’s usually silent and strengthens the preceding vowel to say its name.
