Recap individual SSC ‘A’ and then the source word again (with gesture, if using).�Then present and elicit the pronunciation of the five cluster words.�The cluster words have been chosen for their high-frequency, from a range of word classes, with the SSC (where possible) positioned within a variety of syllables within the words(e.g. initial, 2^nd, final etc..) and additionally, we have tried to use words that build cumulatively on previously taught SSCs (see the Phonics Teaching Sequence document) and do not include new SSCs. Where new SSCs are used, they are often consonants which have a similar symbol-sound correspondence in English.��Word frequency rankings: �alto [231]; nada [87]; casa [106] cama [609]; amar [700]; agosto [931]�Source: Davies, M. & Davies, K.
