Saxon Phonics

I know that Saxon Phonics is getting more complicated and many parents have mentioned that it is hard to help their child with the coding on their homework. I want to give you some help with this.  We still have a few to learn, but maybe this will help:)  Here are some definitions:

Digraph: 2 letters that come together to make one sound

Trigraph: 3 letters that come together to make one sound

Combination: 2 letters that come together to make an unexpected sound (bossy r)

Dipthong:  2 letters that come together to make an unexpected sound and make your mouth move into 2 positions

Final Stable Syllable: letters that the form the final syllable of a word, are stable and do not change.

Below is a picture of the posters that we use in class to help us with our Coding.  I have also attached a link to a printable form to use at home.
