In this lesson, we learned the sound for the Trigraph dge.

  • dge  – fudge /j/

We also learned the ge-dge Spelling Generalization – the /j/ sound at the end of words will be spelled with ‘ge’ when it follows a consonant or a long vowel.
Examples: large, page, strange.
The /j/ sound at the end of words will be spelled ‘dge’ when it immediately follows a short vowel.
Examples: badge, wedge, fridge, lodge, fudge
