Word Building

Level 1

GooD News Scribe eBook Page 1 of 1

Word Building, the first booklet of Level 1, sets out to help the
student to acquire basic phonic skills in (1) blending the sounds
to make words, (2) analyzing a word into its sounds.
Rules are taught to enable the student to acquire these phonic
skills. And while is true not all English words sound according to
rule, many words do. Learning these rules will help the student
to tackle new words and learn to pronounce and spell them.
The words taught are not carried over to the readers, so it is not
necessary for the student to learn the meanings of the words.
