πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

    πŸ“– Letter Sounds: Each letter makes a sound (or two!). Knowing these sounds helps you read words. For example, 'a' can say /Δƒ/ like in apple or /ā/ like in ape.
  • πŸ”Š Learn the basic sounds of vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and consonants (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z).
  • πŸ‘οΈ Sight Words: These are words we learn to read quickly, without sounding them out. Examples include 'the', 'and', 'a', 'I', 'to', 'of', 'in', 'he', 'she', 'it', 'you', 'that', 'is', 'was', 'for', 'on', 'are', 'as', 'with', 'his', 'they', 'at', 'be', 'this', 'from', 'or', 'had', 'by', 'but', 'not'.
  • πŸ‘“ Practice reading these words frequently. Flashcards can be a big help!
  • 🧩 Blending Sounds: Blending means putting letter sounds together to read a word. For example, c-a-t becomes 'cat'.
  • πŸ—£οΈ Practice saying each sound and then smoothly combining them.
  • ✍️ Reading Sentences: After reading words, you put them together to read sentences. The words in a sentence should make sense together.
  • πŸ’¬ Look for the period (.) at the end of the sentence, indicating you should pause.
  • 🧐 Understanding What You Read: This is called comprehension. Ask yourself: What was the story about? Who were the characters?
  • πŸ€” Try to remember what you read and tell someone about it.
