Wednesday: The dge team
Bruce and Ferris race to a bridge over a creek.
Bruce wins by a nose. He taps a badge on his vest.
"Good race!" says Bruce. "You were fast too."
"Bridge and badge end with the same sound as cage."
"But look closely. They use three letters: d, g, e."
See it: dge
The letters d, g, e work as a team.
Together they say the first sound in jam.
Dge comes right after a short vowel: badge, edge, bridge.
After a long vowel, use ge: cage, page, huge.
