More sounding out letters into words

When reading new library books tonight, Abi surprised her father by reading "Help" and "no". During the borrowing phase at the library Priscilla heard Abi read "ooowwwooo". She was interested in some words in an advertisement "her doll", "her wand" etc. Perhaps the pictures next to the words gave Abi clues too but it was definitely reading by sounding out letters.
