- BLENDING: is the ability to combine the individual sounds (phomemes) together smoothly to read a word.
- SOUND BUTTONS: These are the red dots that appear under each letter of the word. By pressing these buttons in order it helps the child segment the sounds in the word and blend them back together to read the word from left to right.
