What you'll learn · 1 of 2

These three words are short but sneaky. 'Of' is a heart word. The o says /u/ and the f says /v/, so we say 'uv', as in 'a cup of milk'. 'From' tells where something started: 'a letter from Grandpa'. Here the o says /u/ too.

'For' tells who gets something: 'a gift for you'. Because they all have o and f or r, readers swap them by mistake. Read slowly: 'This box of toys is from Ana for her baby brother. ' Each word does a different job.
