For the parent or teacher
What it is
These families use spellings that are usually taught in second grade: igh says long i, aw says /aw/ as in saw, and ore says /or/ as in more. Each page shows one family, flip-book style, so your child can read many words from one pattern. They build on first grade phonics with new spelling patterns.
What comes next
More second-grade vowel teams and r-controlled vowels, like ar, er, ir and ur.
How to teach it
- Teach the tricky part first: "i-g-h together say long i."
- Read the family ending, then add each first sound and blend.
- Say "If you know night, then you know..." and let your child read the next word.
Common mistakes
- Trying to sound out the g and h in -ight. Treat igh as one chunk.
- Reading -ore as "or-ee." The e is silent.
