Teaching Sounds in 100 Easy Lessons
• Sounds are written in unique orthography.
Select sound combinations are joined.
Macrons (lines over vowels) differentiate long/short vowels.
To ensure one-sound/symbol correspondence: No capitals.

Frequency research utilized to determine initial sound taught.
• Sounds are carefully sequenced to avoid confusion.
Long and short o els as ell as conf sing so nds separated
Long

and

short
