💡 Phonics Coaching Tip for Parents & Teachers Science of Reading

Continuous Voicing Technique: When guiding young readers through CV syllables like "Su" and "Ca", avoid inserting an awkward "schwa" sound between letters (say /sss-uuu/ instead of /suh/). Connect the spoken sounds seamlessly before adding the final consonant sound!
