LESSON 2 OF 12
Your objective
Choose cues by sound instead of spelling.
Understand the idea
Cue choices follow sounds. The first sound in “phone” is /f/, just as it is in “fee”. The /ng/ at the end of “young” is one consonant sound. In this app, slashes indicate phonemic spelling, with example words to clarify the intended sound.
phone → /f/ ← fee
Different spellings can represent the same sound.

Check the connection
