This is the hard part of reading. You have to decide whether to use your “Sound Sets” or “Sound Families”, vowel “names” or vowel “sounds” or individual letters. In these, we just wanted to give you an idea of how important it is to choose how to break down a word. It is often just a guess. Try one way and if that does not sound right try another.

These are foreign words where the “e” on the end makes the sound of the “e” letter “name” or the “a” letter “name”.
