Teaches:
- Advanced Vowels: Spelling begins with regular short vowel sounds (cap) and long vowel sounds (with silent e, cap becomes cape). Finally, children learn the rules and patterns of vowel pairs (ee), digraphs (ai in train), diphthongs (oi in boil) and r-controlled vowels (farm, bird)
- Word recognition: With repeated exposure to commonly used words, word recognition grows and becomes more automatic.
- Reading basics: To read independently, children must understand the relationship between the sounds in spoken words and the letters that represent those sounds.
- Sight words: Sight words are words that cannot be sounded out (the, where, etc.), so they must be learned by sight and memorized.
