• In the first 21 lessons, one set of three and then four-letter words with
uniform sound endings are arranged in a column.
• The rhyme facilitates the pupils’ learning.
• Because the pupils have previously mastered recognizing all the letters of
the alphabet and sounding all the consonant, this leaves them with only
one problem-giving the sound of the word in combination with the
consonant that follow them.
