One sound, one story
Teach a sound, like short e, then hand kids a story full of it. Have them hunt for and underline every short e word before reading. When they read the story, the words feel familiar, and they can focus on what's happening.
Why it works: teaching letter sounds directly and in order is one of the best-supported findings in reading research (National Reading Panel, 2000).
