Or is there one that is more effective to start with? It would make sense to start with letter/sound knowledge and then move to short vowels and so on.]]> 2016-11-11 23:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sldavis4054/qsyka0td3usv/wish/137107265 sldavis4054 https://padlet.com/sldavis4054/qsyka0td3usv/wish/137107375 Are there certain phonemic patterns/skills that should be taught/modeled first with readers who are at Level A/B or below?
