Phonograms and Blends

A beginning reader will benefit from practice with a few two letter phonograms and blends. Most readers will learn phonograms and blends not specifically taught if they are given the opportunity to practice and over learn sounding out words with some of the most common phonograms and blends.

Phonograms and blends can be introduced, practiced and taught while reading books.
