Do you have a phonics scope and sequence? 😗


The steps in which we complete tasks matters. An order that makes sense.

You wouldn't put ingredients for icing in the bowl and mix it together with the batter. You would have too much butter and sugar in the batter, it would change the consistency of the cake. And now, you don't have any icing.

Your cake wouldn't have the same structure or tase. It would be a FLOP!

Most tasks have a series of steps that make sense. A sequence.

Much like teaching your child to read, you wouldn't start with long vowel sounds.

Why not?

  • multiple spellings for the same long vowel sounds
  • no 1:1 letter-sound symbol correspondence
  • don't work in CVC words for Kindergarten
