Letter combinations and sounds for reading include
Blends combine sounds or word parts.

Letters in words can be silent.
Some letters have variable pronunciations.
A vowel that is followed by <r> can make a new sound (e.g., ti-ger). |
Relationships between letter combinations and sounds support understanding of words. |
Make connections between a full range of letter combinations and sounds.
Apply knowledge of silent letters when learning new words.
Recognize and use a wide range of consonant letters and letter combinations in the beginning, middle, and ending of words.
Recognize and use letter combinations that represent long vowel sounds.
Recognize how the letter <r> can influence the vowel sound.
