KITS 1-7 SCOPE AND SEQUENCE
The Multisensory Letter Introductions and Concepts chart lists the graphemes and concepts in
the order in which they are to be taught. Multisensory Letter Introductions teach the letters and
letter clusters (graphemes) that stand for speech sounds in English words. Concepts provide
additional information that enables students to read and spell with the graphemes. There are also
irregular words listed in the Concepts section; they are optional presentations and are listed to
indicate the earliest possible time each can be resented. Directions for teaching the irregular
words are found in the relevant Reading Practice Guides.
Each of the concepts usually requires knowledge of a minimum number of multisensory letter
introductions before it can be presented, and often has other prerequisites listed. It is essential to
refer to prerequisites listed in the Concept Teaching Instructions before teaching that concept.
This Multisensory Letter Introductions and Concepts chart may be reproduced and used for
recording which graphemes and concepts have been taught to a particular class or student.
