English & Expressive Literacy
Your child can slide individual letter sounds together to read short, three-letter words (consonant-vowel-consonant words like cat, bug, sit, hop).
In real life
Pointing to a word in a book, your child sounds out each letter aloud: c-a-t, then merges them fluidly to say: "Cat!"
