Third, students must learn how all those sounds blend to create words. Of course, there are always exceptions and rules for students to learn as they progress through school. ... continue reading...

This progresses to sounds and blending everything together to form words. ... continue reading...

Notice that the clipart images match the standard and that the essential question clipart also matches. This helps the little ones who can't read understand the ... continue reading...
