When teaching children to read, color coding the alphabet can help them learn the different kinds of letters in the English language. Color coding also helps highlight common letter combinations, such as consonant blends, and shows how these combinations create a variety of consonant and vowel sounds. As a result, children learn to recognize letter and sound patterns, helping the reading process become more intuitive. This approach is often used in Montessori teachings. For example: Red: Consonants (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z) and Consonant Blends (bl, br, cl, cr, dr, fr, tr, fl, gl, gr, ld, nd, nk, pl, pr, sk, sl, sm, sn, sp, st) Blue: Short Vowels (a, e, i, o, u) Green: H-Digraphs (sh, th, ch), Long Vowels (a, e, i, o, u), Silent e (e) and Spelling Patterns (ck, ff, ll, ss, ay, ee, ow, oo, ou, ow, er, or, ar, ing). Once the red consonants and blue short vowels are mastered, the remaining spelling variations are noted in green to distinguish that these sounds are different than the recognizable consonants or short vowels. The series is taught in a specific order to develop familiarity: Short a Short i Short a and i Short o Short a, i, o Short u Short a, i, o, u Short e Short a, i, o, u, e Consonant Blends H-Digraphs Silent e / Long Vowels Consonant Phonogram Spelling Patterns ck, ff, ll, ss Vowel Phonogram Spelling Patterns ay, ee, ow, y, oo, ou, ow, er, or, ar. BONUS: Short Vowels and Silent e Comparisons. This is the tenth book in the series, written by a mom and edited by a Montessori Director.
