Reading Update
- 夜 kanji - changed the primary reading from や to よる
Reasoning
- 明ける vocab - This is a common word that further reinforces the あ reading for kanji 明.
- 自ら vocab - This is a somewhat advanced but very common word, and it introduces a new reading for kanji 自.
- 〜の様に and 様子 vocab - These are common words that provide needed support for the よう reading for kanji 様.
- 捻る vocab - This is a common word that introduces a kun’yomi reading for the new 捻 kanji (added in the previous batch).
- 貯める vocab - This introduces a new た reading for the 貯 kanji, and can come before the less common 貯える which we already teach in level 50.
- 研修生 vocab - This movement brings 研修生 closer to 研修 (28) for better scaffolding.
- 夜-related items - We put the radical before the kanji and changed the primary kanji reading to よる, then supported it with the vocab 夜. They’re in level 5 so we can teach them earlier and separately from more advanced 夜 readings (よ and や).
