Use this chart with a child who is young or is struggling with hearing or remembering the short vowels when tapping the 1st Chart.  When done daily, the brain builds the necessarily neural pathways that are a foundation for reading.

The child or class can begin learning this chart within a few months of starting the program. 3rd graders and up ideally have already been presented with these teams and this is review.
