Level A
Sample Lesson
About the skills progression:
Level A begins with single-letter vowel sounds that are the easiest to learn.*
At this level, students focus on letter/sound associations at the end of words (e.g., math, rest) before progressing to learn about letter/sound associations at the beginning of words (e.g., chip, sled).
*Consonant knowledge is assumed prior to beginning the program.
