This subject includes sound to symbol correspondence which translates to: learn the sound or sounds of each letter or letter combination and learn when to use that sound. Then blend sounds into syllables to achieve reading and spelling accuracy. Sue’s Strategies® provides the best and quickest ways to reach reading and spelling literacy. In addition to offering free, instructional videos and blogs, Sue publishes many texts: Phonetic Flashcards to Remember contains 99 illustrated flashcards for sound to symbol correspondence and usage; PSS for Phonics explains and illustrates the patterns based on position that a letter or letter combination will follow; Syllable Practice for Reading Accuracy & Fluency provides practice exercises at 6 different levels, from 2 syllable words to 6 syllable words.
