Structured skill progression

Categories follow the Orton-Gillingham scope and sequence — from simple consonant blends to complex vowel patterns.

🔤

Consonant Blends

Two or three consonants that blend together — you hear each sound!

bl / cl / flbr / cr / dr
🤝

Digraphs

Two letters that make ONE new sound — sh, ch, th, wh!

R-Controlled Vowels

Bossy R changes the vowel sound — ar, er, ir, or, ur!

arer / ir / uror

Long Vowel Patterns

Silent E and other tricks that make vowels say their name!
