Project Read
• Project Read helps your child segment and
blend letter sounds to form words.
• By starting with simple “cvc” words or
consonant, vowel, consonant words your child
will develop the skills needed to sound out
multi-syllable words.
• Project Read teaches the “rules” of our language
which will help your child become a better
speller and not need to memorize words.
