Sound Patterns

Introduce the idea. Luna opens with the picture visual — a picture above its word — the core vocabulary visual (see it, read it), across 1 narrated beat, so the concept is seen before it is ever practised.

What Luna says

• Long vowels often travel in teams of two letters. ai and ay say long A, like rain and play. ee and ea say long E, like feet and leaf. oa and ow say long O, like boat and snow.

Worked example. Luna walks one case step by step with the picture view — a picture above its word — the core vocabulary visual (see it, read it), turning the idea into a procedure a child can repeat.

What Luna says

• When r follows a vowel it changes the sound: ar in car, or in fork, and er, ir, and ur all make the er sound, like bird, her, and turn.

What Luna says

• Some letters hide and stay silent. The k in knee, the w in write, the b in lamb, the g in sign. You don't hear them, but you still spell them!

What Luna says

• Your turn! Pick the word that fits the pattern.
