What is the rationale for having students sound out irregular words at the early stages of a reading program?
What will be an ideal response?
Sounding out the irregular words demonstrates to students that all words can be read in a left to right progression saying a sound for each letter. Some words though are pronounced differently than the blended sounds. This strategy can help prevent students from abandoning sounding out when irregular words are introduced.
