OO 3 Decodable stories; PowerPoints; Guided Reading + Activities

Three 'oo' decodable books for guided or individual learning in both PDF and POWERPOINT format

with supporting activities to help build reading fluency.

What is included:

3 'OO' decodable stories; 3 PowerPoints of the same, 50+ pages of resources. Your OO Lesson made easy!

Suitable for:

• Class use

• Homeschool (where the printing of books is not affordable - as we advocate the use of physical books where possible

• Special needs education: processing difficulties inc. dyslexia, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism, etc...

It is expected that children be able to blend such words as mud and jump and know CK, before starting to incorporate OO words into their reading with these books.

The decodable stories:

• Each book carefully builds on the vocabulary of those that have gone before, providing much repetition, without relying on predictable text.

• Pictures aid the storyline without encouraging reading from the pictures – i.e. guessing.

• The vocabulary is based on phonic families, which are introduced in a carefully planned way.

• True sight words – those that cannot be sounded out - are kept to the very minimum. Most words are introduced in their phonic family wherever possible.

The PowerPoints:

Have teaching tools:

• Move the orange rectangle under each word to help children track the text on the screen.

• Blue rectangles can be used to cover text so that it can be revealed as suited to the children's needs.

The activity packs:

These should be completed before reading the texts for the best use to be made of them:

• Flashcards of the ck words needed to read the books and sight words needed to be studied to read the books

• Develop phonemic awareness of the new sound

• Build strong word recognition once the words can be sounded out: this helps to build newly learned phonetic words into a child's true sight vocabulary - those words that they no longer have to sound out as they have seen them so many times

• Reading fluency triangles

• Tracking exercises for those with poor tracking skills

• Spell the new words in multiple ways

• Read the new words in multiple ways

• Activities to help children integrate their new skills into everyday reading and writing

• Provide multisensory learning through the powerful use of the hand in writing the words in fun ways

• Are designed for the young child, or the child with a short attention span - as such have many of those with a special need.

• Two, 1-page games to cement learning - you can send these home for extra practice!
