Teach your student the phonics advanced code in as little as 8 weeks with our 170-page workbook and instruction manual.
The /f/ sound has three common spellings, f, ff, and ph, and one unusual one, ugh. This list of one-syllable words includes separate lists for the initial blends fl and fr as well as the common ft ending. Only the one-syllable words in the database are listed to keep the list size manageable.
Note that in the words on this list, the single letter "f" tends to follow an Advanced Code vowel spelling such as "ar", "ie", or "a-e". The exceptions are if and chef.
Of the 7,000 words in the database constructed from a popular children’s dictionary, 212 of them are one-syllable words with the /f/ sound spelled "f".
