Phonics Approach

• (letter-sound relationship)
• e.g. a
• one name a
• giving more than one sound
• short sound a hat
• long sound a hate
• soft sound a panda

26 letters

• vowel (V) a, e, i, o, u (w, y)
• consonant (C)
• letter pattern CVC CCVC t op
• st op
• 
  onset vowel ending consonant(s)

• CVC c at cat
• CCVC th at that
• CVCC w ash wash
