English parallels Music: Taught as such it is among the world’s simplest languages.
With seven notes of the musical scale, you can sing countless
songs. With seven syllable types represented in the acronym
CLOVER+, you can read and pronounce countless English words.

EDUCATION’S SILVER BULLET
BASICS to Aid the Literacy Community: Youth, Adult and ESL
In “To Parents and Teachers,” from Noah Webster’s Blue Back Speller for Reading dated
1783, he indicated learning to read can be a simple process. Individuals “learn basic
consonant and vowel sounds by looking at a letter and pronouncing its sound along with a
clue word that begins with the sound. The clue words are not sight words – they simply
give [individuals] something to ‘hold onto’ as they think of the shape of the letter and its
sound.”
WHERE TO BEGIN
STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY
Warm-up Daily with keywords for each letter of the alphabet using short vowel
sounds to learn the beginning sound of words. [Recommended material: Pages 11
and 12 of Code of Reading Edition 3, which have keywords for beginning sounds of
the alphabet.]
TEACHER’S TEST FOR STUDENT
1. Say beginning sound of word. [solved by daily warm-up above]
2. Touch vowels. [dominant sound of every syllable] Tester observes only.
3. READ word in 3 seconds or less. [enhanced solution by CLOVER+]
This is a Simpler, Fairer, and Faster way to organize the mind.
Used with phonics
spelling rules to
the brain is organized to apply
read and to spell proficiently.
Use of a multi-sensory approach guarantees success. First, practice the
sounds of the alphabet using short vowel sounds for the vowels.
Tap each sound as it is said aloud. Practice daily
for phonemic accuracy. It will keep the mouth
and ear tuned a la musicians.
Then use CLOVER+ to recognize patterns in words. Mark each vowel,
determine the type of syllable to identify the vowel sound, then tap each
syllable as it is pronounced. Important: Watch and listen to your
student!
Refer to PRACTICE BOARD of 200 most used sight words with unaltered
spelling on page 12 of Code of Reading Edition 3 at www.codeofreading.com.
Find also daily Spelling WORKSHEET on page 11 with keywords for beginning
sounds of alphabet. See Case History of Alexei, currently a college senior. Also
see page 17 for Bibliographical Notes and Sources.

Model CLOVER+ phrase
In CLOVER+ Syllable Type V is a vowel
glide, called vowel digraph, and is one tap
or one utterance of the mouth.
Example: Town / ow / digraph / glide /
/W/ is controversial as a vowel; however,
most agree that /w/changes the vowel.
