Is Your Grade 1 or Grade 2 Child Struggling to Read? Teach Vowel Sounds in This Order!
The 'Science of Reading' is not one book, but a collection of research about how children learn to read. The technical term for sound when it comes to literacy instruction is phoneme, so the technical term for sound awareness is phonemic awareness. Today, we will focus on phonemic awareness with consonant sounds.

Teach Kindergarten to Grade 2? Read and Spell Words Using this Strategy!
What is a word chain? A ‘word chain’ is a ‘chain’ of words linked together. In a chain each link is separate, but connected or linked together. A word chain is a chain of words that are similar, but one sound or phoneme in each word has changed from the previous word. For example, in the very short word chain ‘rip, sip, sap, sat, your child has substituted the beginning sounds of two rhyming words, ‘rip’ and ‘sip’, changed the medial or middle vowel sound, when changing ‘sip’ to ‘sap’ and substituted ‘p’ for ‘t’ when going from ‘sap’ to ‘sat’. Tap into the power of word chains to fast-track your child's phonics instruction!
