Use the list for reading and spelling.

Choose a few words made from familiar letters. Read each word, discuss its meaning, and write it. If you filter to a family, look at the first letter as well as the repeated ending. Read every sound rather than guessing from the rhyme.

Our short-vowel labels follow common US classroom usage. Pronunciation can vary by dialect. Model words in your own natural accent and adapt examples when needed.
