Monday: Air and are

Ferris the Fox reaches stone stairs in the hill.

Hazel the Hedgehog sits on the top stair in a small chair.

She has a pencil tucked behind her ear.

"Welcome," says Hazel softly. "Stair and chair share a sound."

"Let us look at it together, nice and slow."

See it: air and are

The letters a, i, r make one sound, like in chair.

The letters a, r, e can say it too, like in care.

Hair, fair, stair. Care, share, spare.

The word are is a heart word. It sounds different.
