R.12.5
says /ōr/.
Add an E to keep singular words that end in the letter S from looking plural.
Spelling Rule 21: To make a noun plural, add the ending -S, unless the word hisses or changes; then add -ES.
There is no green column for this rule because all the Dolch words to which it applies use at least one other phonics concept taught in another lesson.
