The teacher allows time for the student to self correct. If need be, the teacher assists in the correct spelling. The word is then rewritten by the student. In the Blending Drill, the cards are placed in three stacks in front of the student. If a letter is mispronounced, the student traces the letter to retrieve the sound.
Material is taught and reviewed in a multisensory manner.
Letters are traced or written simultaneously as they are pronounced. The lessons are systematic and cumulative. Each lesson is based on what the child knows. New sounds and concepts are learned piece by piece through the direct instruction of a specially trained tutor or teacher. Previously learned material is always reviewed.
