Each set has 3 initial sounds (8 per star) and 24 bases that follow short/long vowel patterns. All common phonemic bases are covered. Six variant vowel bases (underlined to signal their occurrence) are also included. These extra points give students a few additional choices, simplifying the activity.
Level A contains only single initial phonemes. Level B has initial blends.
