After a little drill in analyzing the words of a family, (sounding the consonant and phonogram separately) they should be pronounced at sight, analyzing the word only when the pupil fails in pronunciation.

The teacher’s chart of phonograms as she works it out for herself may be something like this.

[(a]     [)e]      i      [)o]     [)u]
at       et      it       ot       ut

While this gives the teacher a working chart, it is neither necessary nor advisable that the above order be always followed in teaching the phonograms and sounding series of words, nor that they be systematically completed before other phonograms found in the words of the reading lessons are taught.  Such phonograms as “ound” from “found”, “un” from “run”, “ight” from “bright”, “est” from “nest”, “ark” from “lark”, etc., may be taught as soon as these sight words are made a part of the child’s reading vocabulary.
