Short Vowels Decodable Reading Books + Activity Packs

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 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:

1. Flashcards of the relevant words for each sound

2. Phonemic awareness

3. Strengthen consonant blends, which these children often find hard

4. Tracking skills, which are again poor for many of these children

5. Word differentiation - we tackle confusion words head-on (e.g. big/pig)

6. Comprehension - as reading becomes more fluent, we can now build comprehension

7. Fun print and go games

8. 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.
