In this 14-page pack, we introduce a couple of the best ways we have found to help children who confuse the two letters (and their sounds). After a brief <b> and <d> letter-sound recognition drill, we then jump into practising decoding the letters in words, sentences and stories.
In our preferred sequence, we target <b/d> confusion after consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words, and before consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant (CCVC) words or the extended code.
For this reason, our sentences are loaded with CVC words that can be decoded with knowledge of the basic code, with a just a few high frequency sight words like “the”.

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.

Once our students have learned to decode and encode simple CVC, CCVC and CVCC 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 CVCC word pairs, e.g. <rib> and <ribs>, <sun> and <sunk>, <bran> and <brand>.
In this early reading support resource we feature 42 decodable CVC/CVCC minimal pairs and near minimal pairs contrasted in short sentences.

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.
