自然拼读法基本规则:

1. 二十六个字母的读音 (Letter Sounds).

l 五个元音字母(a, e, i, o, u), 每个发两种音：长音（其字母音）和短音

l y不在单词开头时，一般被看做元音

2. 单元音单词拼读 (

Consonant-Vowel-ConsonantCombinations)

如果一个英语单词或音节里只有一个元音, 且元音不在末尾，这个元音一般发短音.

如：　Sam,cat, mat, 等等．

l BeginningConsonants

l EndingConsonants　

l OneVowel Word, Short Vowel Sounds

3. 双元音单词拼读(Two Vowel Words):

一个单词或音节里有两个元音时，　一般来说，前边一个元音发长音（其字母音），　后边一个元音不发音．　

如：　make, mail, may, hay, say, see, sea, meet, meat,key, five, nine, tie, road, coat, toe, cute等等．

4. 双/三辅音在一起时的联读 (Consonant Blends)

l Beginningconsonant blends (bl, br, cl, cr, dr, fl, fr, gl, fr, pl, pr, sc, sk, sl, sm,sn, sp, st, sw, tr, tw, scr, spl, str)
