Word Analysis:
Some phonograms are marked with a number above it. That means it is making its second sound or third sound, depending on what number is written above it.
Example: neither the th will have a 2 above it because we hear it make its second sound.
Rule 12 - we use the phonogram ei because it is following a c.
In the word fierce, we are not following a c, therefore it is ie and not ei.
Silent final e: Job 2 and Job 3
Example: Job 2: we have a u or a v before the silent final e (blue and have)
Job 3: we have a c or a g before the silent final e (chance and charge)
