The Fuller technique is a method for teaching reading that combines alphabet, phonics, and whole word instruction. It involves first teaching letter names and sounds. Consonant sounds are introduced along with pictures of words starting with that sound. Students blend sounds into word families with similar endings, like "get" and "pet." They then combine word families into phrases and sentences. New concepts are introduced sequentially, starting with short vowel words, then consonant blends, digraphs, long vowels, vowel combinations, and homonyms. The goal is to build reading skills systematically from individual sounds to connected text.
