For the grown-up: Decodable reader, Stage 5: Longer blends and digraphs together (splash, lunch, string). Every word can be sounded out using only the phonics taught up to this stage: three-consonant blends (str, spl, scr, thr, shr) and words that combine a blend with a digraph (crunch, blast, fresh), consolidating everything so far. The only exceptions are the permitted heart words (learned by sight): the, a, i, to, of, was, he, she, we, me, be, go, no, so, do, you, my, by, are, they, said, put, her, here, there, come, some, one, all, into, for, friend.
