Short Vowels Decodable Books + Video Lessons + Activity Packs
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools, Presentations, Lesson Plans

This is a set of ten lessons for struggling readers to help them develop reading fluency. The lessons cover short vowel words with and without a consonant blend. It includes 10 lessons, 10 decodable Reading Books, 10 matching PowerPoint presentations of the books + 10 packs of worksheets - a pack to support each book. This 10-week curriculum focuses on short vowel sounds and is designed for struggling readers. It includes 10 decodable reading books, each with only 10 new words per book to prevent cognitive overload. This pack is designed for children who have already learned to blend words with a short vowel sound, with both three and four sounds, but have not yet attained reading fluency. We study the ten words in each vowel sound, five each week, and then practice by using the activity pack. The child becomes very familiar with these five words. The child can then be given the next reading book and, to his/her great surprise, can read the book quite fluently without having to decode nearly every word. This gives the child an enormous boost. The process seems, in my experience, to help the child learn what is needed, once they can sound out words _ it helps them to learn how to store the words in the long-term memory, and I find it gets easier and easier as we go through the programme. The worksheets provide multi-sensory activities to help the child develop: Flashcards of the relevant words for each sound Phonemic awareness Strengthen consonant blends, which these children often find hard Tracking skills, which are again poor for many of these children Word differentiation - we tackle confusion words head-on (e.g. big/pig) Comprehension - as reading becomes more fluent, we can now build comprehension Fun print and go games And much, much more! The systematic, repetitive nature of this program makes it suitable for students with special needs, including those with dyslexia, cerebral palsy, or general learning disabilities. Ideal for small groups or one-on-one instruction, it helps develop reading fluency, phonetic awareness, and early writing skills. Teachers praise the simple download-and-print format that allows students worldwide to benefit. After completing this introductory short vowels pack, students can progress to more advanced phonics. This pack is followed by our decodable readers and PowerPoints, which continue in the same way: https://teachsimple.com/product/phonic-readers-matching-worksheets-and-powerpoint-pack-1-ck

CVC Words Teaching Pack: Activities + 16 Decodable Stories | SOR

CVC Words Teaching Pack: Activities + 16 Decodable Stories | SOR
Common Core, Phonics, Language Development, ELA, Kindergarten, Grade 1, Literacy Readers, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Worksheets & Printables

CVC Words Teaching Pack: Activities + 16 Decodable Stories | Science of Reading This CVC Words teaching pack forms part of a structured literacy program for introducing young learners to reading and spelling. It aligns with the Science of Reading and includes a detailed teaching manual, 138 supporting activities, and 16, 100% decodable stories—all designed to help students build strong foundational reading skills. What is Included The teaching manual offers clear, step-by-step guidance on helping children master blending (reading) and segmenting (spelling) CVC words. The program's unique structure ensures that even students with processing difficulties can succeed by introducing concepts systematically and building on previous learning. The 138 supporting activities focus on developing phonemic awareness - that is, the ability to hear and order individual sounds in words. These exercises strengthen both reading and spelling skills through simple, engaging activities and games. The 16 decodable stories feature Farmer Tom, his wife and children Sam and Pam, and their farm animals in adventures that young readers can actually decode independently. Each story includes word practice lists at the beginning, connecting new vocabulary to familiar rhyming patterns. The stories are in one convenient 32-page book (for eco-printing) with reader-friendly formatting, with a large, clear font and generous spacing. Why This Approach Works Unlike many phonics programs, these stories maintain strict decodability while telling genuinely engaging narratives, no phonics drills! Students read only CVC words they can sound out, plus four essential sight words (a, the, is, of). The books have no curveballs to knock the confidence of young readers. They are always introduced to all the words they need to read each story, before they read it. They then meet familiar words in the subsequent stories. This planned repetition builds fluency and confidence as readers recognise words they've successfully decoded before. The beautiful watercolour illustrations make children want to read them again and again, whilst not encouraging picture-guessing—an important element in Science of Reading instruction. Best For: This program suits students in kindergarten through early first grade (ages 4-6) who have basic CVC blending ability and need systematic practice. It works well for small group instruction, one-on-one tutoring, or homeschool settings and wherever structured, research-based materials are needed. Who can use it? This resource can be used by teachers, though it is especially written with parents in mind. Having the stories in one book means more affordable printing, and the ease of use with non-technical vocabulary makes it attractive to even the least confident parent. The manual helps with assessment and troubleshooting, and the programme suits even children who need longer to learn to blend and segment CVC words, ensuring that they do not begin to rely on word-recognition before they can truly sound out - a common trap of many programmes.

Here is a Kindergarten Science project to help you teach about butterflies! The Butterflies Kindergarten Science project is ideal for a mini spring topic. Use our Lesson notes to help you plan lessons around science, art and English.

Science lessons can be transformed as both pupils and teachers become engaged in the project, asking questions to stimulate further enquiry. Teaching notes include: Raising butterflies from eggs: a wonderful thing to do to really help bring science to life for your pupils. Helpful notes about each stage of the butterfly life cycle - help you to feel like an expert; we have done the research for you! Suggested questions to stimulate scientific enquiry.
