[3] There are studies also demonstrating this for student's learning to read in non-English language. [4]

[6] Analog phonics is a subset of analytic phonics that uses the onset-rhyme of many words. In the word snap, "sn" is the onset and "ap" is the rime (the
Sight words account for a large percentage (up to 75%) of the words used in beginning children's print materials.
