Learn to Spell 500 Words a Day: The Vowel I (Volume 3)

This is the only comprehensive phonics and spelling textbook/workbook and it has 30 unique features. It is in a series of six 152-page books; each of the five vowels is in a book by itself and all the unsteady consonants are in the sixth book. The Vowel I book is to teach the eight sounds of the i that are spelled in 19 spelling patterns we call phonics. Lessons are presented in this logical order: 1. Long i sound spelled in 10 ways: high, sign, mild, tie, bye, like, type, Iris, guy, cycle 2. Short i sound: Jim, gym 3. Minor i sounds: ski, onion, mission, soldier, vision 4. Weak i sound: credible, syringe Each pattern of the i is isolated and justified by a spelling rule; the words are grouped and then used in a story. Example: The 450 i-e words are listed, justified by a spelling rule, used in a story about Mike, and the sentences in the stories are like this: Mike can hike. Mike likes to ride a bike. Students read aloud and learn the spellings of the 450 readymade words within hours.
