Alphabetic Principle
The relationship between letters in a left to right orientation, and phonemes ordered in a specific temporal sequence in a spoken word. The English language operates on this code of approximately 44 speech sounds and 26 letters. Explicit, systematic, sequential instruction. About 75% of the school population will deduce the ____________________________ _____________________ or code. 25% need explicit instruction.
