Part 2 – Irregular Vowel Sounds – SCHWA sounds, A as the short /O/ sound, AU or AW as /AW/ sound, /OI/ and /OY/ sounds, OR and UR as /ER/ sound.
Part 3 – Silent Letters – the 11 letters and 1 letter blend that sometimes make no sound at all: B, C, D, G, H, K, N, P, S, U, W, and GH.
*If your student is new to this program, either Level 1 or Level 2 Learn to Read books will be helpful in learning the individual letter sounds and motions.
