What is the difference between a green word and a red word?

Green Word:  Phonetic words; words that follow phonetic rules and can be sounded out.

(Green means "go ahead and decode!")

 

 

 

Red Word: Non-phonetic and high frequency words that are memorized rather than decoded.  Red words are taught using Orton-Gillingham's multi-sensory method.

(red means "stop decoding!")
