Extended Program
The Extended Program is recommended for beginning students. The Extended Program includes the spelling for each word. Knowing the correct spelling is important as it relates to pronunciation. Some words in English are homonyms. These are words that are pronounced the same but have a different spelling. Other words are heteronyms; words with the same spelling but different pronunciation.
