· C, g, w, and y are all very irregular, but have consistency within their inconsistencies.
· S, t, and x are unreliable. These letters will not always sound the same. Their sounds change with the word.
· We use two-letter combinations called consonant digraphs to stand for the seven phonemes not represented by single-letter graphemes.
This section spoke of more irregular consonants and consonant digraphs. Irregular consonants and consonant digraphs will affect my teaching because these combinations and letters without specific sound rules will be hard to teach to students. How do you explain that a letter might have a "c" sound now, but an "s" sound in a different word? This will take much time on my part, to make the most knowledgeable curriculum to teach the students.
