I watch Between the Lions with DD, where they give you Q always walks with u, or "when two vowels go a walking, the first one says its name." Kn together, K keeps silent. They repeat these little phrases. But then it gets confusing when weather and head have the short e.

They have this Dr. Nitwhite (who they call nitwit) who brings up the exceptions. Easy learning for kids to learn the rules of reading.
