Chapter 1 Reading Horizons
Embedded Files
Letter Groups - Students learn the name, sound, and upper- and lowercase formation of each letter. Five key words are used to help students remember the five short sounds of the vowels: a - at, e - Ed, o - odd, u - up, i - it.
Slide - A consonant is added to the beginning of a vowel to form a new sound. A slide arrow is used to show that the two letters slide together. All vowels have the short sound.
Three-letter Words - After the letters and sounds are learned in each section, students add a final consonant to form three-letter real and nonsense words. An X is placed under the vowel to identify it.
Most Common Words - Students practice reading and recognizing Most Common Words in isolation and in a sentence. Students learn that that Most Common Words are not always decodable, and are words we do have to work to recognize quickly.
