Update Coming Soon For Rhyming Short Vowel Words And Sentences

0 Comments

I am revising the Rhyming Short Vowel Words And Sentences book.  I am removing the short i words from the introductory lessons.  The short u introductory lessons will remain the same.  Without the short i words, it is impossible to make sentences with just the short u words, so the sentences in the introductory sequence will be removed, too.
If you have already printed the books, you don't need to reprint them!! Just skip the introductory short i picture/word pages and  the introductory sentences.  
The reason for the change is that the short i sound is not easy to hear for beginning readers.  It is tempting to start with short i words because you can use the words is and I to put together sentences after just a few phonetic words have been learned.  My original reasoning was, "It's just one set of short i words."  On second thought, I think it's better to wait to introduce the short i words.  It's much easier for students to begin with short u words.
I've also added a spelling dictation chart to supplement the sequence chart.  
The main changes have been completed.  I just need to revise the instructions. Hopefully I will put the new version online within the next few days.
