Considerations & Reminders

When decoding words with the VCe pattern, it may be helpful to first isolate and read the long vowel sound, and then go back to the beginning of the word and blend, instead of reading sound by sound (e.g. a_e pattern recognized and read first: /ā/, /l/, /ā/, /lā/, /m/, lame)
