BackgroundCongratulations! You have purchased a superbly designed reading program created especially for emergent readers. This developmentally appropriate course will teach your child to read fluently in thirty or more structured, phonetic lessons based on modern reading theory. Its innovative guided practice approach will help your child learn to read with ease.
The program offers explicit, systematic phonics instruction taught in a logical sequence. The alphabet is introduced in sets of four to six consonants and one vowel. Each letter is introduced individually, as the child learns the sound of the letter, its formation and its name simultaneously. (Links to online multimedia resources make the sounds of letters and words come alive.) As each new set of letters is introduced, it is added to those previously learned. Learners are taught to combine the consonants with the vowel sound, building and blending from individual letters to whole words and sentences.
Next, a five-step decoding system is mastered so that readers can correctly sound out new words based on the most common vowel patterns. This is followed by introductions to the remaining forty-two sounds, including digraphs, diphthongs, and r-controlled vowels.
Finally, a two-step syllabication technique is taught, enabling students to break words into syllables and apply the decoding skills they've learned to read words of any length.
As students move through the logical sequence of the course, they experience learning success in incremental steps, becoming increasingly self-motivated as they receive continuous, positive reinforcement of previously learned skills.
Introduction
![Page 9: · 2011-01-07 · 3 BACKGROUND………………………………………………………………………...……………… 8 Teaching Tips](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042008/5e70d08d495c4d58ea13594d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

While there are several alternate schools of thought regarding how to best teach beginning readers, the only constant we have found is that initiating instruction by teaching the alphabet creates, for at least some emergent readers, unnecessary confusion.
Many beginning readers experience difficulty decoding words due to the strong association they form between letters of the alphabet and their corresponding names. For example, when such learners are presented with the word bat, the letters fail to trigger the anticipated response because what the child perceives as “bee-aye-tee” obviouslysounds nothing at all like the desired: /băt/.
Nonetheless, reading instruction for most American children still begins with the “Alphabet Song” sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” so while this program teaches the sound, formation and name of the letters concurrently, we leave it to you as to whether or not you will begin instruction with your own childusing the more traditional method, or focus instead on insuring that your son or daughter is first familiar with all of the sounds. However, in that we do not endorse the traditional approach, you will find that it is not incorporated in our system.
Research has shown that phonemic awareness is the best predictor of reading success, so your learner will begin by practicing the identification and manipulation of individual phonemes to firmly establish familiarity with the foundational letter-sound relationships, with additional concepts progressing from simple to complex, each skill building upon the next until, by the end of the course, your child will be able to decode virtually any word, regardless of its length or complexity.

Teaching TipsPlease note that when letters appear inside of slash marks / / you should pronounce their sounds and not their names.
Also, when teaching the sounds of the consonants, probably the best way to demonstrate each phoneme is to have your learner listen to what it sounds like at the end of a word; then isolate it from the rest of that word, articulating it in its “purist” form.
In other words, you need, as best you can, to ensure that you do NOT make the mistake of injecting the nonexistent vowel element “uh”after the consonant sound. For example, when pronouncing the sound of the consonant T, avoid saying “tuh!”
The “uh” (schwa) sound is not a part of the sound, so pronouncing it in this manner can only serve to hinder the process of learning to read—making it much more difficult than it actually needs to be, with your child trying to sound out words like pat by uttering /pŭh-ă-tŭh/ instead of articulating it properly as /păt /.
Moreover, your instinct may be to call the letters by their alphabetic names, but try to avoid this as much as possible. In this program, you are going to focus on the sounds of the letters. As already mentioned in the background information, the names of the letters and their sounds are almost always different, and mastering the names beforethe sound can often lead to unnecessary confusion. It will be easy enough to learn the “Alphabet Song” after your child knows all of the sounds.
Each time you introduce a new letter/sound combination, point out the letter’s location on the Alphabet Sound Chart. Give your child the corresponding Letter Cards (pictured above) and have him or her keep it in a safe place to be reviewed on a daily basis.

11
Also point out the letter/sound combination on the vowel chart noting the key word for the sound. And finally, take every opportunity to prompt and praise your child.
(As you are undoubtedly aware, the amount of time you will need to spend introducing each letter and sound will be totally dependent on your child’s individual ability. If your child experiences difficulty learning any particular letter, make a practice sheet or practice sheets for that letter modeled after the activities you will find on pages 16 and 17.
SOUNDING OUT WORDSWhen the time comes to begin decoding, you may want to startinitially by slowly sliding your finger under the letters, moving from left to right, elongating each sound without stopping in between to make sure your child recognizes each individual symbol in a givenword. Then go back and slide your finger under the word faster, reading the sounds a bit more quickly to approximate normal speech. After that, ask your child to read the same way. When your child reads correctly without stopping in between, the resulting sound should be very close to the way the word is normally read. Though this procedure may seem a bit cumbersome at first, you will soonrecognize how effective it is.
NOTE: In that the program builds in plenty of practice and review, there are some exercises following the intial introduction of a given sound or word which you may consider optional. Feel free to exerciseyour own discretion in deciding what, and what not, to use.
FINAL THOUGHTTeaching someone how to read is a very rewarding and satisfying experience, and this is a book that starts simple, is easy to use (most of the pages are scripted) and reinforces key concepts so that you and your child can maximize every moment.

Reading ReadinessIDENTIFYING WORDS IN SENTENCESOne of the first steps in understanding language is the ability to tellone word from another. The ability to identify individual wordswithin a sentence precedes the ability to identify individual soundswithin a word, so you may wish to provide your child with practiceusing an activity called “Froggy.”
FROGGYPlace lily pads you cut out from green construction paper on thefloor. Direct your child to hop from one lily pad to the next for eachword in the sentence (that you make up). Instruct your learner tomake sure to count how many times he or she hops.
HOW MUCH IS THIS SENTENCEAnother fun activity is: “How Much Is This Sentence?” Say:“I'm going to give you real (or play) pennies. Then I’m going to say asentence and have you count the number of words in that sentence tosee how much the sentence is worth. Each word is worth one penny,and I want you to figure out how much the whole sentence is worthby counting the words. Listen to the number of words I say in thesentence and count them. The sentence is…”
If your learner comes up with the correct number of pennies, he orobviously counted the words accurately.
AURAL SEGMENTATIONGiven that a phoneme is the smallest unit of sound, you will want tohelp your learner be able to hear and identify those sounds and howthey affect words. (It will be easier for your child to read if he or sheis able to hear, identify, and separate individual sounds.)
To help your child develop the ability to hear these individualsounds, you might give him or her different colored sponges orconstruction paper cut into small squares.
When you say a word, ask you child to listen for the individualsounds within the word, and to pull down one colored square foreach sound heard.

After your learner gets good at this, you might suggest using aseparate color for the vowels. Also, if a consonant sound is repeated,as in the word “dad,” you can suggest pulling down the same colorfor the sounds that are alike.

IdentifyingSounds
Lesson 1aIntroducing the /ă/ Sound
Today is the day we're going to begin learning how to match letters to their sounds so that you can read words.
Have you ever thought about the fact that words are really just sounds?
And the neat thing about the sounds in our language is...each one has one or more symbols that stand for it. We call these
symbols letters!
When letters are printed on paper, they tell us what sounds to make with our voices. We call that reading!
So, let’s start reading!
We’ll begin with a really good sound to help us read words.
The sound this letter makes is /ă/.

![Page 17: · 2011-01-07 · 3 BACKGROUND………………………………………………………………………...……………… 8 Teaching Tips](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042008/5e70d08d495c4d58ea13594d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Did you hear that sound?
(Wait for a response.)
Great, listen carefully as I make it again. Then I'm going to ask you to repeat it after me.
/ă/
Now you say it…
Super!
We hear the sound /ă/ at the beginning of certain words, like: am, an, as, at, and ax. You can also hear it in the middle of words like: cat, bat, and mat.
The letter that stands for the sound /ă/ looks like this:
So, when you see this symbol, you know to make the sound /ă/.
Reading out loud will help you to remember the sounds of all the letters, so let’s practice reading /ă/…
![Page 18: · 2011-01-07 · 3 BACKGROUND………………………………………………………………………...……………… 8 Teaching Tips](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042008/5e70d08d495c4d58ea13594d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Activity 1b
When we read, all we're doing is making the sound that eachsymbol tells us to say.
For example, look at this line of letters. I’m going to say the sound of the letters that are placed close together, one right after the other. But I’m going to stop, and be quiet for just a moment, between the groups of letters separated by a space, like this...
Now this time, I want you read too. Each time I point to a group of letters, I need you to make the sounds along with me. Are you ready? Okay, let's go.
That’s wonderful. You’re learning how to connect sounds to their letters so that you will be able to read words! And now it’s YOUR turn. I want you to read this next line all by yourself. Are you ready? Okay, go ahead and read.

VariationsOptional Activities:
Dictate the sounds to your learner, who then points to the letters as you say them.
Point to the letters while your pupil reads the sounds.
Have you child write the letters, and pronounce them as he or she does so.
Dictate “sentences” (like the ones on the previous page) a single “word” at a time, and have you learner write each “word” as you recite it.
Instruct your learner to make up his or her own “sentences,” uttering each “word” as he or she writes it down on paper.
Take turns with your student writing original “sentences” without uttering any sounds, and then hand the sentence to the other person to read what was written aloud.
(These supplemental activities can be used in the future with any letter or sound needing additional reinforcement.)

Sometimes the symbol for /ă /is printed like this.
It looks a little different, but it still makes the same sound: /ă/
Now it’s time to practice finding the symbol for /ă /. I’m going to show you a page with different letters on it, and each time you see the symbol for /ă /, I want you to circle it with yourpencil and also make the sound /ă/.

Handwriting / Activity 1fSuper! Writing the letters will also help you to recognize them when you see them. So, let’s learn how to write /ă/ on paper.
When we write letters, we usually write them between lines that look like this. (Display page 25.)
We call paper that has these kinds of lines handwriting paper. Here is a sheet just for you.
Now how you sit is very important in writing letters neatly, so make sure you’re sitting straight with both feet flat on the floor.
The position of your paper is important too. Tilt it (at a 45 degree angle) toward the writing-hand side of your body so that it almost matches the position of your writing hand's forearm, like this (demonstrate).
We will be concentrating on three things:
1. How to make each letter2. The size of the letters3. And how much space to leave between words
But, we will only concentrate on one thing at a time, starting with how to make each letter.
Let’s begin by learning /ă/’s starting and stopping points. To do that, the first thing we will do is trace over the letter with an index finger…
Okay, now I think we are ready to write /ă / using a pencil.
PracticingManuscript

24
How you hold the pencil is another one of the important things that can help you to practice good handwriting.
So, you should hold the pencil close to the writing tip with your thumb and index finger, like this…
Your middle finger should be curved under the pencil, so that the pencil is resting lightly on the area between its tip and first knuckle.
Your fourth finger and pinky should be curved in toward your palm.
(When your child begins to write words, the space between each should always be about the same. He or she can place a pinky finger between words to measure the correct distance.
Also, this is the only model for a handwriting lesson that this book will provide, but please note that free handwriting paper, tips and worksheets for a variety of grades and skill levels can be found at the following URLs.)

Practicing how to write the letters will help you to remember them better, so let’s learn how to write the symbol for /ă/.The symbol that says /ă/ is called “A.” But, even though thename of the letter is “A,” /ă/ is the sound that it makes in many words.
When we write letters, we usually draw them between lines that look like this:
To write the letterA, start at the dashed line that is half way between the two solid blue lines.
Use your pencil to begin drawing a line that curves down and to the left.
Continue drawing the line until it begins to curve back to the right.
By the time you touch the bottom line, you should have drawn a half circle.
Now begin to curve up and to the right.
As you head near the middle, begin going back to your starting point to the left.
Form a complete circle by closing the curved line.
For your second stroke, return to the dashed line half way between the solid blue lines.
Draw a vertical line the drops straight down and touches the right side of the circle you drew.
Continue drawing the straight vertical line until it touches the solid blue line on the bottom.

CapitalizationCapitalize the 1st Wordin a Sentence
You may wish to begin familiarizing your learner with upper-case, as well as lower-case, letters. If so, you might say something like…
It won’t be too long before you start to put several words together to write complete thoughts. We call that—a sentence—and sentences begin with a special kind of letter called a “capital letter.”
You see, each letter in the alphabet can me written in two (different) ways: lower case and upper case. So far, you have only learned how to write a lower-case letter. But now, let’s begin learning how to write using upper-case letters too.
Upper-case letters are also called capital letters, and when a group of words form a complete thought, they begin with a capital letter.
The letter you just learned to write is called “lower case A,”
So, now you are going to learn how to write a capital A. Then, when it is time to start writing sentences, you will know how to begin them correctly—using capital letters.

Remember, the symbol that says /ă / is named “A,” but /ă/ is the sound that it makes in many words. So, we will say the /ă /sound as we finish each letter.
(A ready-to-print handwriting practice sheet is provided on page 28.)
To write a capital A, start from the solid blue line at the top.
Begin drawing a diagonal line that slants down and two the left.
Continue past the dashed line half way down.
Keep going until you have reached the sold blue line at the bottom.
For your second stroke, return to the solid blue line at the top and begin drawing a line the slants down and to the right.
Continue approaching the dashed line half way down.
Pass the dashed line. Keep going until you have reached the sold blue line at the bottom.
For your third and final stroke, start from the diagonal line on the left and begin drawing a horizontal line a little belowthepink dashed line.
Continue from left to right. Keep going until you have reached the diagonal line on the left.

CapitalizationCapitalize Names
There are some names that have the /ă/ sound in them. For example, the name Ann begins with the sound /ă/. But, when we write names, we always begin them with a capital letter, just like we do at the beginning of a sentence.
So, the name Ann looks like this…
Ann
Practice will help you remember the letters. So, let’s practice writing upper and lower case A and syaing the /ă/ sound as we finish each letter.

Say:
Three of these examples look a little different from the way /ă/ looked before, but it’s still the same letter, and it still makes the same sound: /ă/.
I’m sure you’ll have no problem at all recognizing it.

Activity 1p
The sound /ă / is called a short vowel sound. There are five short vowel sounds altogether. The other four short vowel sounds are /ĕ/, /ĭ/, /ŏ/, and /ŭ/
Vowels mainly tell us what to do with our vocal cords. Vocal cords are the things that vibrate in our throats to make sounds.
Put your hand on your throat and go “baaaaaa,” like a lamb.
Yeah! Could you feel the vibration (movement) in your throat? Well, all vowels make your throat vibrate like that.
Another thing that all vowels can do is stretch out their sounds. Here, let me show you how I can make the /ă / sound much longer.
(Demonstrate by elongating the short-A sound and holding it.)
Go ahead, you try it.
Yeah! All vowels can do that too.
To help us remember the sound of short-A, we’re going to learn a song that goes with it. (Teach the short-A song.)
You can find the short-A song demonstrated at…

Introducing the /t/ Sound
Say:
Yesterday we learned the symbol for the sound /ă/.
Only, /ă/ doesn't mean anything all by itself.
However, sounds that do mean something we call words, and today you're going to learn the symbol for a new sound that we can put
together with /ă/ in order to make our first word: /ăt/.
The sound this letter makes is /t/.
We hear that sound at the beginning of certain words, like: toy and top. You can also hear it at the end of words like: hat and sit
Listen carefully as I make the sound again: /t/
Can you make that sound?
Yeah, that was great!

You already learned the symbols for the sounds /ă/ and /t/.
Only, those sounds don’t mean anything all by themselves.
Sounds that do mean something, we call words, and today you're going to put /ă/ together with /t/ in order to make our first word: /ăt/.
/ă/ and /t/ together say /ăt/.
Listen as I say the sound again: /ăt/
Now it’s your turn. Point to the letters and say the sound /ăt/.
Yeah, that was great!

56
Alright! Now we are ready to learn how to sound out words.We’ll practice beginning with the word /ăt/. Watch and listen carefully.
To sound out a word, I say each sound as my finger slides undereach letter. Then, I say the whole word fast. Like this...
(Use the previous page to demonstrate how to sound out words by slowly pronouncing the initial, medial (none in this case), and final sounds while carefully blending them together. Then repeat the pronunciation in a normal manner.)
Watch and Listen again. I’ll say each sound for as long as my finger points to it. Then, I’ll say the word again—fast.
(Demonstrate once more, as described on page 11.)
Now it’s your turn to sound it out. Say each sound for as long as your finger is under it. Then say the whole word fast…
That’s super!
Like I said, many words have the sound /ăt/. So, now would bea good time to practice finding it.
But, let’s practice writing it first.

Handwriting / Activity 3cLet’s practice writing /ăt/ on paper…
Roughly follow the same handwriting routine as established on pages 22 through 24. When finished, Say:
Very good!
So, if we want to write the word “at” we have to write the letter for the sound /ă/ and then write the letter for the sound /t/ right next to it because these are the letters that stand for the sounds in the word “at.”

Introducing the /b/ Sound
Say:
Yesterday you learned that when we put the sound /ă/ together with the sound /t/, we make our first word: /ăt/.
Well, today we are going to learn a new sound that will enable us to make two more words.
The sound this letter makes is /b/.
You can hear it at the beginning of words like: ball, boy and box.You also hear it at the end of words like: job and tab.
Listen carefully while I make the sound again: /b/
Can you make that sound?

Making a “Pocket” for StripsThis program uses word building activities that provide practicewith encoding words through phoneme manipulation andsubstitution.
To make the “pocket” for holding the Letter Strips (see page 76) begin by “valley folding” an 8½ × 11 inch sheet of card stock in half.
Then “mountain fold” the top ¼ of the paper down (as illustrated below) and staple, tape or glue the ends. (The end result is pictured on the next page.)
If you choose to make the Letter Strips for phoneme manipulation byprinting two copies of the “back” side of the template (which has the guide lines) and then printing the other pages (the “front” sides with the letters), on the reverse side of the same two sheets, you will then be able to cut out the strips accurately with no visible lines on the front side of the finished product.

78
The sound I hear at the beginning of the word /ăt/ is /ă/.
And the sound I hear next is /t/.
Together, they say /ăt/. And like I said before, many words have the sound /ăt/ in them, which is really two sounds.
In fact, most words have at least three sounds: A beginning sound, a middle sound, and an ending sound.
Let’s see if I can make another word that has /ăt/ in it.
Look at this. If I add /b/ as a new beginning sound to the word /ăt/, I get the word /băt/.

That was kind of cool, but I have another idea.
Watch this.
What if I switch the beginning sound with the ending sound?
Look. If I do that, I can use these very same letters to change the word /băt/ into the word /tăb/.
That was kind of neat, huh?

9. Wonderful! Now can you use those very same letters to change the word /băt/ into the word /tăb/?
10. Cool! What sound do you hear at the beginning of /tăb/?
11. Yeah! And what sound do you hear at the end of /tăb/?

Activity 5a
Introducing Sight Words
Say:
Wow! You know how to join sounds to make new words.
Now you are almost ready to read sentences. A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. But, before you can read sentences you will need to learn how to read a special group of words, some of whichcannot be sounded out. They are called “sight words.”
Once you begin reading sight words, you will be able to start reading sentences. That makes sight words very important. But, unlike the words you’ve learned to read sofar, when you read sight words you don’t sound out each letter. Instead, you learn how to read the whole word all at once.
It’s almost like the whole word makes one sound. So, let’s read our first sight word. It’s the word “the” and it looks like this. Point to “the” and read the word as you point to it.

Teaching Sight WordsIn the future, all sight words will be introduced using flashcards. The goal of teaching sight words is to provide your child with repetitive exposure to common words so that he or she can easily recognize the words in text.
Sight words are vital for fluency and comprehension and should be recognized and read without hesitation! Never let your learner guessat a sight word. If your child guesses a word wrong, it will take longer to learn it. If he or she hesitates, give the length of time it takes you to count 1, 2, 3 slowly to yourself, then say the word for your learner.
INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURE4
Teach no more than five to six sight words at a time. Cut the words apart and arrange the cards in order. (Write the number of its group on the back of each card.)
Group the words in order, about five at a time (modify the amount of words to be introduced depending on the ability of your child). Do not ask your reader to try to sound them out. Rather, establish a routine similar to the one outlined on the next page.
Carry out the procedure with five previous sight words that need to be reviewed, and five new sight words. When your child has almost learned the words, switch roles and have your learner be the teacher, saying the word card that you are to pick up (see page 85).
You should continue this activity long enough for your child to learn the words, but he or she should always pick up the cards and say the words on them at least three times during the activity to maximize the likelihood of remembering them. Repeat these activities each day until all sight words are read without hesitation.

I'm going to say each word as I lay its card on the desk in front of you and I want you to repeat the word after me.
Now I'm going to mix together eight or twelve word cards and lay them face up on the table in four columns. (You may have to start with just four cards in the beginning).
Then I'm going to make an imaginary little man with my index and middle fingers and place him at the edge of the table so we can have a race to see who can get the most words.
I will say a word, then you see if you can get it before my little man does. Now, let’s both placed our hands on the edge of the table. Are you ready…

87
Sight Word GamesOf course, when playing the game on the previous page you will need to hesitate so that your child's little man reaches the words first. The game will also allow you to gently correct your child’s errors. If your learner obtains the wrong card, and your little man continueson to obtain the correct one, you can award yourself the point so your child recognizes he or she made a mistake. Use the activities below as alternates to maintain interest and excitement by varying your instructional approach.
LETTER SCRAMBLE4
Write sight words on 3 x 5 cards. Cut the letters apart and have your child unscramble the letters to form the words.
FILL IN THE BLANKS4
Write a short sentence with a blank space for the sight word. Then This time, write the word in the blank and read the sentence aloud.
WORD SEARCH4
Create a word search by writing a long string of letters and asking your child to circle the hidden sight word (or words) among the sequence. Make sure the letters are sequenced from left to right.
BINGO/DOMINOES4
Create a sight word bingo game or site word dominoes.
SHADOW WRITING4
Provide visual, auditory and kinesthetic practice by having your learner write the words in the air while saying them to you aloud.
Save the sight word cards and review them each day! (You probably won’t finish teaching sight words until the second or third grade.)

88
Guided PracticeAt the end of most units and certain selected lessons, your child will be given the opportunity to apply the information that he or she has learned, including the recognition of new sight words, by reading a small group of phrases and/or sentences.
You may wish to create additional sentences that you feel would be appropriate for your learner based on the sight words that you have introduced up to that point. With a little extra effort, you may even be able to construct simple little stories.
For the sentences that follow, your child will need to have been familiarized with the following sight words: the and a.
Applied Skills& Concepts
Say:
Now that you've learned your first sight words, I bet you are ready to begin reading sentences.
The words you will be reading next are not exactly sentences, but they are very close.
If you don’t know a word, please do not guess. Instead, sound out the word as best you can.
If you still cannot read the word, I will help you, but remember, don't guess. Now, let’s practice reading sentences. What does this sentence say…

Activity 7a
Introducing the Word /ăt/
Say:
You already learned the symbols for the sounds /ă/ and /n/.
Only, those sounds don’t mean anything all by themselves.
Sounds that do mean something, we call words, and today you're going to put /ă/ together with /n/ in order to make the word: /ăn/.
/ă/ and /n/ together say /ăn/.
Listen as I say the sound again: /ăn/
Now it’s your turn. Point to the letters and say the sound /ăn/.
Yeah, that was great!

Say:
Each of these looks a little different from the way the letter looked before, but it’s still the same letter, and it still makes the same sound: /m/.
I’m sure you’ll have no problem at all recognizing it.
Still, it is important to make sure you can identify the letter no matter the style in which it is written, so let’s practice!

Putting Sounds Together
Say:
You already learned the symbols for the sounds /ă/ and /m/.
Only, those sounds don’t mean anything all by themselves.
Sounds that do mean something, we call words, and today you're going to put /ă/ together with /m/ in order to make the word: /ăm/.
/ă/ and /m/ together say /ăm/.
Listen as I say the sound again: /ăm/
Now it’s your turn. Point to the letters and say the sound /ăm/.
Yeah, that was great!

Handwriting / Activity 11bLet’s practice writing /ăm/ on paper…
Roughly follow the same handwriting routine as established on pages 22 through 24. When finished, Say:
Very good!
So, if we want to write the word “am” we have to write the letter for the sound /ă/ and then write the letter for the sound /m/ right next to it because these are the letters that stand for the sounds in the word “am.”

TEACHING TIP
Distingusihing “b” from “d”
Many children mix up the letter “b” and “d.” If your child has thisproblem you might want to point out how a lower-case-b can bechanged into an upper-case-b by adding a top “loop.” However, ifyou try this with a lower-case-d you get something weird.Hopefully, your child will find it helpful to visualize a capital-Bwhenever attempting to distinguish between these two very similarletters.
GUESSING AT WORDS
There are some learners whose difficulty with reading is due to theirguessing at words rather than taking the time or making the effort tosound them out properly. However, once your child has completedthis program, if he or she exhibits such behavior, you can easilydiscourage the folly and set your son or daughter back on track bysimply uttering the words, “break the code.” (See pages 384-391.)

The BlendsAt this time a prescribed sequence for the systematic introduction of sight words and consonant blends has yet to be developed for this program.
Rather, this information is introduced as dictated by the vocabulary our students run across in their day-to-day reading activities.
We suggest you keep track of such words as they occur in text encountered by your child and that you incorporate them into the reading curriculum side-by-side with the skills and concepts you are currently teaching from this publication.

At this time a prescribed sequence for the systematic introduction of the sight words and consonant blends has yet to be developed.
In our program, this information is introduced as dictated by the vocabulary our students run across in their day-to-day reading activities.
We suggest you keep track of such words as they occur in text encountered by your child and that you incorporate them into the reading curriculum side-by-side with the skills and concepts you are currently teaching from this publication.

Activity 30a
Introducing the /x/ Sound
Say:
The sound this letter makes at the end of a word is /ks/.
You can hear it at the end of words like: fox and max.
Listen carefully as I say the sound again: /ks/
Can you make that sound?
When it is the first letter in a word,the sound it usually makes is /z/, like in the word: xylophone
And when it comes in the middle of a word,it usually makes the sound /gz/, like in the word: exit.

Breaking the Code
Every vowel has at least two sounds—a long-vowel sound and a short-vowel sound.
So, how do we know which sound a particular vowel is supposed to make?
Well, there are certain common vowel patterns that we see again and again, and knowing these patterns is extremely helpful when sounding out words.
From now on, we will “break the code” when sounding out words.
The patterns enable us (help us) to know whether a vowel should make its long sound or its short sound.
For example, Why does this word say met and not meet?
We will find out the answer as soon as we become familiar with: “the single-vowel pattern.”
When we use these patterns to sound out words, we say that we are decoding the words.
From now on, we will “break the code” whenever we need to sound out new or unfamiliar words.
To break the code, we will need to learn a special system for marking syllables.
Whether a vowel makes it short-vowel or long-vowel sound depends on the letter that follows it, so our first step is to mark all of the vowels in the syllable.

405
The Short-Vowel SoundsWe still have a big problem here. These vowels look just alike. We need a marking system to show which vowels are long and which vowels are short.
I once saw a teacher suggest that you can remember which symbol marks a long vowel and which symbol marks a short vowel by erasing almost all of the word “Long” and almost all of the word “Short.”
Erase everything except the bottom of the “S” in the word “Short” and you are left with a little curved mark called a breve. A breve identifies a vowel as short.
Let’s put a breve above each vowel to show that each onesays its short-vowel sound.

406
Long-Vowel SoundsNow let’s do the same thing with the word “Long.” We will erase all but the bottom of the “L.”
We are left with a short straight line, called a macron, which identifies vowels as long. Each long vowel says its own name.
Let’s put a macron above each vowel to show that each onesays its long-vowel sound.
ā ē ī ō ūWe will use these marks to remind us when a vowel has its short vowel sound, and when it has its long vowel sound.
By the way, you need to know that a long-u will often say /oo/ instead of /yoo/. (Give sufficient time to master this new info. )

407
The Vowel PatternsWhether a vowel makes its short-vowel or long-vowel sound depends on the letter or letters that follow it. Together, they may form certain common vowel patterns that we see again and again.
Knowing these patterns is extremely helpful when sounding out words, so let’s learn the special system we use for marking and identifying these patterns.
However, before we begin we need to be aware of an important guideline, which follows:
RULEWhen breaking the code, always try to underline two letters, but never underline more than two letters.

408
The Middle-Vowel Pattern(CLOSED SYLLABLES)
Step 1:Our first step is to mark all the vowels in each syllable. (At this time however, most of our words will only be one syllable long anyway.) We mark the vowels by underlining them with a straight line.
metStep 2:Our rule says that we must try to underline two letters, so wemark the next letter that comes right after the first vowel as well. The next letter is a consonant. We mark a consonant by underlining it with a curved line.
metStep 3:We code the vowel by copying the last mark made. Since the last mark we made was a curved line, we write a breve above the vowel, which tells us that it makes its short-vowel sound.

409
So, according to the middle-vowel pattern, when a single vowel appears in the middle of a syllable, that vowel is usually short.
The “technical” name for this kind of syllable is “closed.” Hence, the vowel in a closed syllable is usually short.
![Page 410: · 2011-01-07 · 3 BACKGROUND………………………………………………………………………...……………… 8 Teaching Tips](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042008/5e70d08d495c4d58ea13594d/html5/thumbnails/410.jpg)
410
The End-Vowel Pattern
(OPEN SYLLABLES)
What do we do when we have a word that ends with a vowel—a word like: go?
Step 1:First mark all of the vowels in each syllable.
goStep 2:Since there is no letter to mark right after the first (and only) vowel, we skip directly to step three.
Step 3:Remember that we code the vowel by copying the last mark made. Since the last mark we made was a straight line, we write a macron above the vowel, which tells us that it makes its long-vowel sound.
goSo, according to the end-vowel pattern, when a vowel ends a syllable, that vowel is usually long. The “technical” name for this kind of syllable is “open.” Hence, the vowel in an open syllable is usually long.

411
The Double-Vowel Pattern(SIDE-BY-SIDE VOWELS)
Many instructors teach that: When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking—that it says its own name, and that the second vowel is silent. But, this rule really only applies to thesix common patterns listed below. You should memorize them!
ai ay ea ee oa ui
Step 1:First mark all of the vowels in each syllable. (Mark them by underlining them with a straight line.)
goatStep 2:Since the vowels are side-by-side, we’ve already marked the letter following the first vowel, so we can now go to step three.
Step 3:We code the vowel by copying the last mark we made…
goatStep 4:…and finish by crossing out the second vowel (the silent vowel).

412
So whenever we see the following pairs of vowels in a word, we should know automatically that the first vowel will be long (will say its own name) and the second vowel will be silent.

The last pattern we will look at is the one in which a vowel, a consonant, and a silent-e comes at the end of a word.

SyllabicationLearning to tell one word from another is probably one of the first steps you took in developing the ability to understand language.
And just as sentences are made up of smaller parts called words, many words are also made up of smaller parts called syllables.
Syllables can be both heard and felt.
You could say that syllables are kind of like the beats in a word. But, rather than try to explain what syllables are, it is probably easier to understand syllables through demonstration.
We will begin by clapping syllables, starting with your own name and the names of animals.
(Demonstrate how to clap out, for example, the single syllable in mouse, the four syllables in alligator, etc.)
When you were learning to read one-syllable words, you discovered that there are certain common vowel patterns that help us to sound out words by telling us whether a vowel should make its long- or short-vowel sound.
We called that “breaking the code.”
But, to identify the patterns (or to “break the code”) in words with more than one syllable, we need to know where their syllables should be separated.
Generally speaking, one rule will cover the vast majority of all situations:

419
2-Step Rule
Unless they come at the beginning of a word, almost ALL syllables begin with a consonant.
Therefore…
1. When a vowel is followed by just one consonant, the word is almost always divided AFTER the vowel and BEFORE the consonant.
2. And when a vowel is followed by two (or more) consonants, the word is usually divided BETWEEN the first two consonants.
Look carefully at how theses nonsense words below were divided into syllables to see how this rule is applied.

mogin mo/gin Rule 1
ulist u/list Rule 1
infoad in/foad Rule 2

420
Once we have used the syllabication rule to divide longer words into syllables, we “break the code” in each syllable to help us to sound out the words.
For example, by dividing the nonsense word “ludatto” into syllables and decoding each syllable separately, we discover that the word should be pronounced: lū/dăt/tō.
Here is a list of real words you can use to practice dividing words into syllables, and then breaking the code in each syllable individually in order to sound out the word:

When the grand rule applies in the vast majority of cases, it will not apply to EVERY situation. Consequently, we are providing the following information just in cause you would like to know ALL of the syllabication rules.
ADDITIONAL SYLLABICATION RULES
A one-syllable word is never divided.
When a single consonant comes between two vowels in a word, if the first vowel is short, the word is usually divided afterthe consonant.
When a single consonant comes between two vowels in a word, if the first vowel is long, the word is usually divided beforethe consonant.
When a vowel is sounded alone in a word, it forms a syllable in itself.
When two vowels come together in a word and are sounded separately, divide the word between the two vowels.
Divide a compound word between the words that make the compound word.
When a word has a prefix, divide the word between the prefix and the base word.
When a word has a suffix, divide the word between the base word and the suffix.
When a word ends in -le preceded by a consonant, divide the word before that consonant.

More About Syllabication
WHAT TO DO WITH Y
You already know that the letter y acts as a consonant at the beginning of words, and as a vowel in the middle and at the end of words.
You also know that sometimes in a closed syllable (see page ?), -y has the sound of short-i.
However, in an open syllable, there are two different possibilities for how -y may be pronounced—either as a long-i or a long-e. So, how do we know which it should be?
Well, at the end of a one syllable word, it is pronounced like long-i, as in: my why fly spy by try
However, at the end of a multi syllable word, it is pronounced like long-e, as in: happy funny psychology lady
There are exceptions however, which some refer to as the NFL VERBS. (NFL is easy to remember because it is an abbreviation for National Football League.)
In multi-syllable verbs that end with the letter y, immediately preceded by the consonant n, f or l…the y is often pronounce like long-i, as in: defy imply deny

Unstressed Syllable Rule
You learned that when a vowel is followed by just one consonant, the word is normally divided after the vowel and before the consonant.
Take the word signature, for example.
Since the letter a is followed by just one consonant (t), we divide the word between the a and the t:
sig/na/ture
In “breaking the code” it would seem that the a should be pronounce using its long-vowel sound.
However, a vowel in an unstressed (unaccented) syllable is often pronounced with the short-u sound of /uh/. This happens so often that such vowels are given a special name and symbol, called a schwa: ә
It looks like an upside down e.
So, instead of pronouncing the word sĭg/nā/cher, it is pronounced sĭg/nŭ/cher.
