I am not an expert but have done my best to capture the necessary information! Words can be placed by beginning SOUND or other SOUNDS you would like to have as your focus in the word. In Kindergarten, we usually do not place a word more than once at the beginning of the year because our phonics skills are not advanced enough, however, we map them more than once later on in the year. I underline focus sounds in each word.Examples: listed under /w/ was listed under /Ə/ was listed under /
