Pages 1 to 4 are the books, one sheet each, in teaching order: sh and ch, then th, wh, ck and ng, then blends, then silent e. Each book uses only the patterns taught by then, with short vowels throughout, plus sight words. Page 5 is a blank book for children to make their own. Page 6 shows how to fold a book, and page 7 is a test sheet with each page's number.
Before reading, find the book's pattern words on the back cover and read them together. Children read with a partner, then draw the last page. A child who finishes can write a book of their own on page 7 with words from the same pattern.
Fold one book together and read it a page at a time. When your child gets stuck on a word, cover all but its first sound, then show the rest a part at a time.
Four little books to print and fold, for sh, ch, th, wh, ck and ng, beginning blends and silent e, with every word one a child can sound out or knows by sight. Children read each book, find its author and illustrator, and finish it by drawing the last page.
