How to Use This Pack

Pages 1 to 4 are the books, one sheet each: two books with -ed and -ing endings (a story and a book about ducks), then two stories with two-syllable words. Each uses the patterns taught by then and sight words only. 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.

In the Classroom

Before reading, cover the ending of a word with a finger, read the base word, then read it with the ending. For two-syllable words, read each part and then put them together: rab, bit, rabbit. After reading, have children draw the last page.

At Home

Fold a book together and read it twice: once slowly, sounding out, and once smoothly, like talking.

Tips for Success

  • Find the base word first: jump in jumped, kick in kicking
  • -ed can sound like t, d or ed: jumped, yelled, landed
  • Split a long word between its two middle consonants: rab-bit, nap-kin
  • Read each book more than once
