INSIDE EVERY BOOK

• Page 7: words I can read + 3 stars to color
• Page 8: 3 yes / no comprehension questions + a spot for a sticker
WHY IT WORKS
• Every word was checked: the stories use only short vowels, digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ck), blends and the silent e patterns taught so far, plus a short list of tricky words shown in each book
• Meet Magic e, a friendly character who shows how e makes the vowel say its name
• A word pairs warm-up before every book, so your child hears the change from short to long vowel
• Books 1-16 practise one pattern at a time; books 17-20 mix them all
• Level 4 of the Decodable Readers series, in the same look and style as Level 1
PERFECT FOR
• First grade readers who are ready for long vowels
• Homeschool phonics lessons
• Reading groups, tutoring and extra practice
• Kindergarten readers who already read CVC words, digraphs and blends
• Summer reading practice
HOW TO USE
• Read the word pairs page first (about 2 minutes)
• Read the tricky words on page 2 of the book
• Read the book: tap and blend each word, then read it again more smoothly
• Answer the 3 questions and color a star
• About 10 minutes a day is enough
HOW TO PRINT
• Print single-sided, landscape, at Actual size / 100%
• Regular 20-24 lb (75-90 gsm) paper works well
• Fold each book sheet, make one cut on the dashed line and fold it into a book - the guide shows every step
• Use the ink saver files for black and white printing - children can color the pictures
