A (cat) Sound Multisyllable Word List
OnTrack Reading Phonics Program
Teach your student the phonics advanced code in as little as 8 weeks with our 170-page workbook and instruction manual.
The five lists of the /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/ sounds spelled only with a, e, i, o, and u are organized so that each such word only shows up on one of the five lists. This list of /a/ words spelled a only contains words where all the vowel sounds are the /a/ sound. The list of /e/ words only contains words with vowel sounds /a/ and /e/, and so on.
Taken together, the five lists cited above will hold all words in the database that have only Basic Code spellings of their vowel sounds. These lists can be very useful for putting together stories or assignments that have words with spellings already covered in the curriculum. This list is not a list of all words in the database containing the /a/ sound. For example, the word acrobat will be found in the corresponding /o/ list (because the /o/ sound comes after the /a/ sound in the listing.
Of the 7,000 words in the database constructed from a popular children’s dictionary, six of them are multisyllable words which have only the vowel sound /a/.
Note on the word divisions: Each word is divided into chunks determined by the unique and highly effective OnTrack Reading Multisyllable Method. The chunks are not syllables.
