Understanding the Soft and Hard G Sounds

The video tutorial explains the two sounds of the letter G: the hard sound (as in 'go') and the soft sound (as in 'giraffe'). It provides a phonic rule that G followed by E, I, or Y usually makes a soft sound, while G followed by A, O, U, or other consonants makes a hard sound. The video also highlights exceptions to these rules, such as 'get' and 'girl', where G makes a hard sound despite being followed by E or I. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the rules and encourages viewers to practice and remember these phonics rules.
