THE PROBLEM
Many weak
readers and spellers have difficulty making sense out of words because they have
not discovered the letter-sound code which underlies reading and spelling
skills.
They cannot
determine:
What sounds go with what letters (especially vowels).
How many sounds there are in a word.
The order of the sounds in the word.
Which sounds are the same or different.
This causes them
to:
Add unnecessary sounds to words (bly for by).
Omit sounds within words (sped for spend).
Substitute one sound for another (equitment for equipment).
Reverse sounds in a word (was for saw)
