The goal: on day 10 your child finds the vowel team or the bossy r, and reads words like play, star, bird and cloud never seen before.
For the child who reads cake, feet, rain and boat, but stops at play, star, bird and cloud. About five minutes a day from you.
That is the goal, not a promise. Some children have these in a week, and some need the ten days twice. The plan teaches ay, ea, ow, ar, or, er, ir, ur, oi, oy and ou.

Day 10
star
The team first: one line, one sound. Then the word.
Your child reads cat, and then reads star with the a of cat, and the word comes out wrong. That does not mean your child is not trying. In star the r is bossy: it changes the vowel in front of it. In play and cloud two letters work as a team. So this plan teaches one habit: find the team first.

This is the day 2 track your child works with. It waits, then gives the answer. Nothing listens back.
Step one is different
First, find where to start
Not every child who is stuck on vowel teams is stuck in the same place. Day 1 is a four-minute check that shows you which day to start on.
The first teams are new
Reads ay, ea and ow one letter at a time. Start at day 2.
play → “pla-y”
ay, ea, ow are steady
Reads play and eat, but stops at star, bird and coin. Start at day 6.
bird → ?
✅Reads them all
Go to the story on day 9, then do the final check.
Silent e is hard
Words like cake and rain come first. Cap to Cape is the place to start.
You learn which team to start with, or that Cap to Cape comes first.

Day 10Unseen team wordsTeam and bossy r words never printed before, and two sentences.
It starts where Cap to Cape ends. First, new spellings of long sounds your child knows: ay (as in rain), ea (as in feet), ow (as in boat). Then the bossy r: ar and or, then er, ir and ur. Then two new sounds: oi and oy, then ou and ow as in cow, and a story.

What you get to reach it
It is more than worksheets. It is the pages, someone showing you each day, and a voice that works with your child while you stay nearby.

11 videos
A video for every day
One a day, about a minute. You hear each team’s real sound, ay, ea, ar, oi, and see it under one line, before you start. With captions.
6 tracks🎧
Sound tracks for your child
Days 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8. The voice asks your child to find the team, waits, then sounds out play, star or coin so your child can check alone.

Day 1 shows whether the first teams are new or only the bossy r. Day 10 uses team words that appear on no other page of the book.
6 cardsay ar

What this is not
It is not a promise: some children have the teams in a week, some need two rounds. It covers ay, ea, ow, ar, or, er, ir, ur, oi, oy and ou; igh, oo, ew and aw come later. Reading teams letter by letter is not a sign of dyslexia on its own; for a child of eight or older, or one who finds reading hard in other ways too, talk to the teacher. It is paper, not an app. A child not yet steady on silent e words starts with Cap to Cape; the free check says so. You need a printer and scissors.
Questions
What else do I need?
A printer for the pages, crayons, a pencil, and scissors to cut out the team cards. No device for your child.
What is a vowel team?
Two letters that work together and make one vowel sound: ay in play, ea in eat, ow in snow, oi in coin, ou in cloud. Your child learns to find the team first, then read the word.
What is a bossy r?
When an r comes right after a vowel, it changes the vowel’s sound: car, corn, her, bird, turn. Schools also call these r-controlled vowels. They are the same thing.
Why does ow sound different in snow and cow?
Because ow has two sounds. This plan teaches snow on day 4 and cow on day 9. If one sound does not make a word, your child tries the other.
How old should my child be?
Most children who need this are six to eight. Your child should already read silent e words and words with ee, ai and oa. The free check shows you whether that step is steady.
How long is each day?
Five minutes or so: a short first job with you, then the track or the page alone, then three team words read to you.
My child reads star with the a of cat. What do I do?
Lay the ar card beside the word and ask: find the team, what sound does it make? Then do the day again tomorrow. The day 5 check shows when to move on.
What comes after the ten days?
You can stop there. If you want daily practice to keep going, The One Sheet gives your child one sheet a day, made from what you tell us. It is a separate plan, $9.99 a month, and you can cancel any time.
Does anything record my child?
No. Nothing in this pack watches, listens to or records your child. You are the one who listens.
How do I get the videos and sound tracks?
The “start here” page of the book has a code to scan with your phone, and a short link. They open in your browser. There is nothing to install.
What if it is not right for us?
Write to hello@sounditoutreading.com within 30 days of buying and we will refund you. You do not need to give a reason, and you keep the pages.
