LinguaFrom letters to words
You now know all twenty-six letters. Reading is what happens when you say their sounds one after another, fast enough that they run together: c-a-t, and then cat. Start slowly. Speed is the last thing to come, and it comes on its own.
Three letters, three sounds, one word. Write it without lifting your eye from the line.
The same again: s, u, n. Say each sound as your finger draws it.
| Word | Sound by sound | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| cat | c-a-t | an animal that says meow |
| sun | s-u-n | it gives light in the day |
| bed | b-e-d | you sleep in it |
| hat | h-a-t | you wear it on your head |
| dog | d-o-g | an animal that barks |
| pen | p-e-n | you write with it |
One more thing the page needs: a space. Words are separated by a gap about as wide as one letter. Without it, aredhat is unreadable; with it, a red hat falls apart into three easy pieces.
a red hat
the dog is big
