Pages 1 to 5 are the books, one sheet each: short a, e, i, o and u, in the order most programs teach them. Each book uses only that vowel and the ones before it, plus sight words. Page 6 is a blank book for children to write and draw their own. Page 7 shows how to fold a book, and page 8 is a test sheet with each page's number, to fold once and see how it works.
Fold the books together the first time, step by step. Before reading, look at the cover and the title page: who wrote the words, and who drew the pictures? After reading, children draw the last page and write their name as an illustrator too. Keep the books in a basket for rereading.
Fold one book together. Point to each word as your child reads, and help them sound out any they get stuck on. Read it again the next day: each time it gets easier.
Five little books to print and fold, one for each short vowel, 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.
