The Whirlwind of Discovery...We DON'T read left to right - we need to go back and forth! (Digraph Diamonds)

Even look at the word "early" -- the "e" is changed by the "a", so you can't just look from left to right! Think of the the word "partition." How do you know how to pronounce the second "ti" without looking at the "on" ending?
