New to phonics terms? The skills run in the usual teaching order, 1 to 10. Each one opens with a plain-language explanation and signs that your student is ready for it.

1 CVC & short vowels Consonant-vowel-consonant words with short vowel sounds, like cat, sit, and mop. 2 Consonant digraphs Two consonants that spell a single sound: sh, ch, th, wh, ck. 3 Consonant blends Two or three consonants said in a row, each keeping its own sound, as in st, fl, and mp. 4 Glued/welded sounds Letter chunks taught as a unit instead of sound by sound: the -ng and -nk endings, plus all, am, and an. 5 Silent-e (VCe) The vowel-consonant-e pattern, where a final silent e makes the vowel say its name: cap becomes cape. 6 Vowel teams Two vowels working together to spell one sound: ai, ay, ee, ea, oa. 7 R-controlled vowels Vowels whose sound changes when an r follows them: ar, or, er, ir, ur. 8 Diphthongs & variant vowels Gliding and variant vowel sounds: oi, oy, ou, ow, oo, au, aw. 9 Multisyllabic words Words of two or more syllables, including compound words and syllable division (splitting a long word into parts). 10 Morphology & affixes Meaningful word parts: prefixes, suffixes like -ed, -ing, and -s, and common roots.

How this catalog works

Skills from the publisher

The skills listed for each set come from the publisher's own materials, usually its scope and sequence (the order a program teaches phonics skills in). Every set links to its source, and a set is only listed once its publisher says what it teaches. How alignments are checked.
