Phonemic Awareness and Letter Sounds

Because the majority of letters in words are lower case letters, enabling students to decode many words.

A regular word is one in which each letter represents its most common sound.

Students sound out words by saying the sound represented by each letter and then translate the blended sounds into a word at a normal rate.

<p>Because decoding words beginning with continuous sounds can be easier than decoding words beginning with stop sounds.</p> Signup and view all the answers
