Ages 4.5 -5.5
The Alexander Reading Method:
Continuing to build on our previous levels, we now focus on adding in 4-5 letter decodable skills with short vowels, two-letter blends and ch-sh-th-wh digraphs, plus additional “trick words”.
Children use our Tall-Small-Low guide to move from large to small letter writing skills.
Traditional Methods:
Letters
A set of sight words
Learning to blend letters into cvc words (this is what TARM works on a year earlier)
