Green Series

The Green Series follows the Yellow Series, and is comprised of two sets – Fiction Stories and Photo Stories, each with 10 titles. The Green Series starts with all short vowel sounds, all single consonants, several common consonant digraphs, and high frequency words “the”, “a”, and “to”. As the series progresses, the following concepts are introduced:

• additional digraphs <ch>, <sh> and trigraphs <-tch> and <-dge>
• initial and final consonant clusters, first with continuous sounds, then with stop stounds
• orthographic conventions such as the doubling rule and when to use <-tch> and <-dge>
• <wa>(<a> as /ŏ/ after <w>) and <al>(<a> as /ŏ/ when followed by <l>)
• suffixes <-ed> and <-ing>
• concept of "schwa" in unstressed syllable
• High Frequency Words: "of", "was", "said" and “they”
