Acquaint Yourself With the Code

Work entirely by SOUND, remember it is the sound M in the word Make that has the value of 3, and if not sounded would have no value. Become familiar with these ten digit sounds so that when you see a digit you can immediately recall the sound. Then practice sounding words and telling the number value of each SOUND in the word. Pay no attention to the letters; only the sounds have value.

The ten sounds alone will not form words, but will by adding the vowels A, E, I, O, U. The vowels have no figure value and can be used at any time and in any manner desired without altering the number value of the word. In the same manner we use the consonants W, H and Y. These have no figure value and with the vowels may be used to bind the digit sounds into words.
