X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: 9.0 SE for Windows sub 5000 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Status: O Content-Length: 720 Lines: 14 The chart I referred to merely gives a visual picture of the types of words that are in reading materials that are of a 2nd and low 3rd level. For a better explanation of this phenomenon go to the essay "Read by Grade 3, Say What?" at Xwww.spelling.org/Research/read_by_Grade_three.htmX Just delete the beginning and ending X's, copy and paste into your browser. By the way, 3 out of every 4 words a "poor reader" cannot read will contain those patterns in the grid called fancy and 3 out of every 4 words that have these patterns a poor reader cannot read. So what I do? I teach the patterns through the sequential spelling technique and teaching the roots that fit in with them as I go. Don
