Embedded phonics - ✔️✔️explicit instruction for using letter-sound relationships during the

Idiom - ✔️✔️a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from
those of the individual words
Inflectional endings - ✔️✔️Sounds, which are added to words to indicate tense, possession,
number of comparison
Isolated phonics - ✔️✔️a type of instruction in which phonics is taught through the skills-based
