To read independently, children must understand the relationship between the sounds in spoken words and the letters that represent those sounds.

Spelling As understanding of the spelling system grows, children move from using 1-2 letter spellings (D for dog, or CT for cat), to adding vowel sounds, and eventually spelling words with less predictable patterns.
