It works best if you already know the basic consonants and vowels, syllable blocks, final consonants, and the sound rules (Units 01–08). Everything is explained in simple English, one step at a time. You don't need to memorize anything. Read each word as best you can, listen to check, and your reading will get faster with every try. 🎧 HOW TO USE THIS LESSON 1. Read: when a word is behind the curtain, try to read it before the curtain opens. 2. Listen: hear the word, check yourself, and say it out loud with the video. 3. Practice: take the quiz and the Reading Boss. Pause or replay any part as many times as you need. ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00 Can You Read These? 00:39 Stop 1: Warm-Up 02:05 Stop 2: Food & Places 03:52 Stop 3: Sound-Rule Detective 05:34 Stop 4: Sign Hunt 06:54 Spot It!
