Progressive Word List (Up to Zz)
It is essential for securing a solid literacy foundation for students to only be provided words to decode words with only the letters that are correlated to where the program is.
At this moment in time, we are up to the Letters Zz. Prompts are to be used to effectively provide reasoning for greater retain and eventually speed; they also increase student confidence and remembrance. (DO NOT give answers not promote guessing). If a prompt isn’t quickly responded to with an answer- than that letter’s video needs to be watched and interacted with again.
