The Ready Community
Description
This infographic defines school readiness, and outlines the characteristics of a school ready community.
English spelling is described as quasi-regular, meaning a system in which the relationship between input (i.e., orthography) and output (i.e., phonology) is systematic, but with many inconsistencies (often referred to as exceptions). These inconsistencies often center around the pronunciation of vowels, which can vary as a function of letter position and the neighborhood of surrounding letters.
