Sound of the Week: Short /o/, and The Three Sounds of ED

WHAT IS THE /w/, /o/ RULE YOU MAY ASK?

When you hear an /o/ after a /w/ the /o/ sound is written with an A, like in waddle. We waddled in our duck feet. 

We wrote words with a /w/ sound then an /o/ sound after it like; waddle, was, what, wasp and want to name a few.

Speaking of which, waddled also has our focus chunky monkey work ending.
