Irregular Rimes - Hot Cereal
What: Irregular rimes are words that do not follow phonetic rules and are not high frequency words. Analytic phonics recognizes that a single syllable word has two parts: onset and rime. In the word most, m is the onset and ost is the rime. Based on phonetic rules, the "o" would have a short sound. In this case, it does not follow the rule, therefore, it is called an irregular rime. Why: Without automatic recognition of irregular rime words, the student will not be able to read at a steady and fluent rate. The goal is to see and say a word in less than one second. How: My Breakfast Reading Program introduces y and w as vowels and irregular vowel patterns based on rime families (ay, ost, ear, ight, etc...) using the sight word method. These irregular rimes are presented in Lessons 23 - 53 as illustrated in Table 1. Lesson 29 introduces 80 irregular long vowel sound rimes based on 5 rime families using the analytic phonics method. Lesson 30 introduces 39 irregular short vowel sound rimes based on 5 rime families using the analytic phonics method. Repetition, repetition, repetition.
