It is a basic teacher tool for developing phonics and spelling pattern knowledge to be taught in games, spelling or reading lessons, chalkboard lessons and worksheets. The pages are duplicatable for take-home study sheets. "Onset" refers to the initial consonant(s) sound at the beginning of a syllable and "rime" refers to the vowel plus final consonant. Both research and teacher experience have shown this to be a natural and useful way to break up or "sound out" unknown syllables and unknown words. Breaking syllables into onset and rime also aids spelling. The Preface givese many teaching suggestions and the Appendix contains a diagnostic test and complete phonics charts.
