Consonant Word Lists Started
New word lists for consonant sounds can be found on the Guide Page Consonant Sounds by Spelling. For now, the Word List section of the Guide is at the bottom of the Sidebar’s Table of Contents, so you have to scroll down the Sidebar quite a ways to find it if you don’t use the link here.
In the OnTrack Reading curriculum, vowel sounds are clustered together for instructional purposes when there are overlaps of pronunciation. For example, all of the /ow/ spellings, ou, ow and ough, can also be /oe/ spellings, so it makes sense to teach /ow/ and /oe/ one after the other. Clients then easily see the relationship between the two sounds and their spellings.
Similar overlaps in pronunciation also occur in the consonant sounds. There is some overlap, for example, between the /s/ and /z/ sound where the letter s and the digraphs se and ss can represent either a /s/ or a /z/ sound in different words.
So, the consonants are organized first by sound, and within each sound, all of the common spellings of that sound have word lists. Nearby that group of lists will be any other group of lists which have spellings which overlap with the first group. Take a look at the Page to at Consonant Sounds by Spelling to see what I mean. It’s easier to understand by just looking at the titles of the word lists.
