Octophonics in Action Learn with Mary and Luke Lesson 10

🎥 Octophonics Lesson 10 — Single Consonants 4 | Expanding the Decoding System

In Lesson 10 of Octophonics in Action, Mary and Luke continue building the decoding system by introducing a new group of consonant sounds and applying them through the familiar Three-Steps-Method (TSM).

This lesson marks an important point in the sequence:
the sound system becomes richer, but the decoding process stays stable and predictable.

🔍 What This Lesson Builds

Lesson 10 introduces and practices the consonant sounds:
n /n/, w /w/, y /y/, l /l/, and qu /kw/.

Learners:
Hear and identify each sound clearly
Blend new consonants with short vowels using TSM
Practice accuracy and fluency through structured repetition
Encounter special spelling patterns (such as qu) in a systematic, non-confusing way

Rather than adding new rules, this lesson strengthens the learner’s ability to apply one consistent decoding routine to more complex inputs.

🧠 Why Lesson 10 Is an Important Step
From a Science of Reading perspective, Lesson 10 supports:
Phonemic awareness: careful listening, sound identification, and sequencing
Phonics: stable sound–symbol mapping, including less common consonant patterns
Automaticity: speed-run practice that builds fluency without sacrificing accuracy

Learners are no longer just “trying sounds.”
They are learning to trust a system.

🌟 What This Prepares Learners For
Lesson 10 helps students:
Decode confidently with a wider range of consonants
Handle patterns like qu without guessing or memorization
Maintain accuracy as speed increases
Move closer to fluent, independent word reading

The method doesn’t change.
The reader grows stronger.
