How to Use This Pack

Pages 1 to 4 are the books, one sheet each: soft c and g (a story about two mice), endings that change the spelling (a frog story), then two books of two-syllable words (a book about tigers and a story about a robot). 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. Sort c and g words by sound, find the base word in hopped and smiled, and split the long words into their parts: ti-ger, un-lock. 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

  • c and g usually say s and j before e, i or y
  • Find the base word first: hop in hopped, smile in smiled, cry in cried
  • A syllable that ends in a vowel often says the vowel's name: ti-ger, ro-bot
  • Read each book more than once

Soft C and G and Longer Word Decodable Books

2nd Grade
