separate sound in a word and know
what letters or letter combinations
make each sound.

Success Criteria
One letter makes one sound -
Dot
Two or more letters make one
sound - Dash
A vowel needs an e to make
long vowel sound - Dive
When two or three consonants
blend (pronounced
individually, but quickly) - Crash
Initial blends: bl, br, cl, cr, dr, fl, fr,
gl, gr, pl, pr, sc, sk, sl, sm, sn, sp,
sq, st, str, sw, tr.
