Need To Practice the Vowel Combinations More

My daughter had been doing so well with her reading but this past weekend it looked like she had taken some steps back. This evening I discovered that the problem was a need to review the sounds like aw, au, ay, ai, oy, oi, etc. It only takes about about 10 minutes to review everyday. We also need to do more practice with the silent "e." It was better tonight after the review.

Not sure what we are going to do with the ough sound....

7 different sounds. I think we can wait for that one and that schwa sounds for that matter. We'll do those when she's a bit older.
