Step 2.7 begins the second half of Step 2. In the first half, the sounds are simpler: short vowels, consonants, blends. In the second half, the sounds are more complicated, beginning with the digraphs. As the available sounds increase, so do the word lists. Plus, in this lesson and the remainder of Step 2, we include 20 common, high-frequency sight words.The reading practice is less like “practice” and more like reading, plus the introduction of paragraphs and plurals. There are a number of new concepts, including voiced and voiceless consonants, posessives, the exclamation, and consonant teams. The new rules include vowel rule #3 and Y as a vowel. *Note: These modules are intended to be used with the video lessons at SoundEnglish.org, but they can be used by themselves.
