How to Use This Pack

Pages 1 to 4 are the books, one sheet each, in teaching order: oo, then ew and igh (a book about bats), then ow and ou, then oi, oy, au and aw. 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

Read the pattern words on the back cover first and sort them by spelling. oo and ow each say two sounds: sort moon from book and snow from cow. 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

  • oo says two sounds: moon and book
  • ow says two sounds: snow and cow; ou says the sound in cow
  • oi and oy say the same sound, and so do au and aw
  • Read each book more than once
