What is SATPIN?

They’re very common sounds and when you put them together you can blend and segment them to read and write several simple words – SAT – SIT – PAN – PIN – TIP – TAP etc. If you just learnt in order of the alphabet you wouldn’t be able to make as many simple words initially.

What are CVC words?

CVC words are three letter words that follow a consonant/vowel/consonant pattern. CVC words are considered the simplest words for emerging readers to decode by blending the three sounds together.
