Open Syllable
practice
This is a good "mixed practice" deck. Remember to
give each practice the full multisensory treatment!
It may be advisable to learn that a at the beginning of a word
quite often has the schwa sound, as in away, again, and other
good sight words to learn. You may want to make a "special
category" list of these.

* Practice this one well. Many students spell this "q"
or "qu," for obvious reasons.
** Note that this often turns into "ju" -- as in "joo
eat?" for "did you eat?"... words like "educate"
*** note that when this is in a word such as "donate"
or "dodo," it doesn't sound the same as it does by
itself. Likewise with "to." This is news to
many students, who attempt to decode the "do" syllable
as if it were the word.
