Why Spotting Special Friends Helps Children Read with Confidence

Reading wobbles are completely normal. Most of the time, it’s one small part of a word that feels confusing. Spotting the Special Friends first gives children a clear starting point and helps the rest of the word feel lighter. This simple shift builds confidence, reduces overwhelm, and makes blending smoother and more successful.
