Welcome to the classroom! Today, we will be exploring the sound made by the combination of the letters "o" and "i." Specifically, when we encounter "o i" in words, it produces the sound "oy." Let's delve into some examples to get a better understanding of this phonetic rule!

The Sound of "oi"

When you see "o i" in words, it makes the sound "oy".

For example, let's talk about a cat named O, which is spelled o i. When we pronounce this, we emphasize the sound: O (said as "oy").
Remember, o i makes the sound "oy."

Now, let's explore some words that include "o i":

coil: C makes the sound C, "o i" makes the sound "oy," and L makes the sound L, resulting in coil. This could refer to coral formations as seen in nature.
coin: C makes the sound C, "o i" makes the sound "oy," and N makes the sound N, resulting in coin, which represents monetary currency.
void: V makes the sound V, "o i" makes the sound "oy," and D makes the sound D, thus the word is void, meaning empty.
avoid: A makes the sound A, V makes the sound V, "o i" makes the sound "oy," and D makes the sound D, leading to the word avoid, which describes the act of steering clear of something.
loin: L makes the sound L, "o i" makes the sound "oy," and N makes the sound N, creating loin, referring to a part of the body located between the ribs and hips.
boil: B makes the sound B, "o i" makes the sound "oy," and L makes the sound L, forming the word boil, which is the process of heating in water.

joint: J makes the sound J, "o i" makes the sound "oy," N makes the sound N, and T makes the sound T, creating joint, which is an area where two bodies meet.
moist: M makes the sound M, "o i" makes the sound "oy," S makes the sound S, and T makes the sound T, forming moist, which describes a slightly wet condition.
oink: O makes the sound O, "i" makes the sound i, N makes the sound N, and K makes the sound K, producing oink, the noise pigs make.
ointment: O makes the sound O, "i" makes the sound i, N makes the sound N, M makes the sound M, E makes the sound E, N makes the sound N, T makes the sound T, all combining to make ointment, a topical treatment.
