The document outlines the order for teaching English sounds to students, starting with basic consonant sounds like p, b, t and vowels like a, e, i. It then recommends teaching short vowel sounds, followed by longer vowel sounds which can be more difficult due to inconsistent spelling. The most challenging sounds are diphthongs, which blend two vowel sounds like oy, ow and aw.

Consonant sounds: Start with the basic consonant sounds, such as
/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/, /f/, /v/, /s/, /z/, /sh/, /ch/, /j/, /m/, /n/, and /l/. These are the most common consonant sounds in English and are usually easier for students to learn. 2. Short vowel sounds: After teaching the consonant sounds, move on to the short vowel sounds, such as /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/. These are the most basic vowel sounds in English and are usually easier for students to learn than the long vowel sounds. 3. Long vowel sounds: Next, introduce the long vowel sounds, which include /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/. Long vowels are often more challenging for students to learn because they can have different spellings and pronunciations. 4. Diphthongs: Finally, introduce the diphthongs, which are vowel sounds that consist of two vowel sounds pronounced together, such as /oy/, /ow/, /aw/, and /ei/. Diphthongs are often the most difficult for students to learn because they require mastery of two sounds at once.
