Once our students have learned to decode and encode simple Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) and Consonant-Consonant-Vowel-Consonant (CCVC) words composed of letters in the basic code – but before we step up to working on polysyllabic words, we recommend that students practice decoding short sentences containing similar words that contrast CVC and CCVC word pairs, e.g. <tick> v <stick>.
In this early reading support resource we feature 32 decodable CVC/CCVC minimal pairs and near minimal pairs contrasted in short sentences.

Featuring 82 short sentences, this workout is loaded with CCVC words that use the basic code (with very few digraphs, split digraphs or diphthongs).
We wrote these sentences to help practice blending and segmenting words with four letter-sounds. They can be used for:
* decoding practice; or
* word or sentence level written dictation (encoding) practice.
While illustrated, we have designed the sentences to discourage guessing from context or pictures, and to instead promote the phonological awareness skills most correlated with reading outcomes, namely letter-sound links, blending and segmenting skills.

Ten, sequenced and animated word recognition exercises focusing on fast and accurate decoding.
Practice decoding consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant (CCVC) and consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant (CVCC) words by decoding basic code graphemes into phonemes (speech sounds), and then blending the phonemes together to read the words.
Formatted in PDF (for print) and for Google Slides (for smart boards, iPads, and other devices, and to access the animations).

22 word-recognition exercises focusing on distinguishing voiced and unvoiced stop consonants – <p>, <t>, <k>, <b>, <d> and <g> – in CVC and CCVC words and short decodable sentences.
Practice decoding consonant-vowel-consonant and consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant words by decoding basic code graphemes into phonemes (speech sounds), and then blending the phonemes together to read the words.
Formatted in PDF (for print) and for Google Slides (for smart boards, iPads, and other devices).

This 10-page workout is designed to show students the importance of decoding left to right, all the way through words, and to not guess. Featuring three cats with similar – but different – names, features, and interests, this exercise is designed to help catch and eliminate barriers to fluent decoding.
To make the exercise slightly more challenging, we have loaded the passages with consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC), consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant (CCVC) and consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant (CVCC) words; as well as high-frequency bound morphemes <-er> and <-est>, to help support children to read common comparative and superlative adjectives.
