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”.

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.

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.

Many students with reading difficulties struggle with long words – especially words with two or more syllables (‘polysyllables’). For example, many children will look at a long word and simply guess at the word, e.g. by looking at the first letter or by guessing at the word by looking at the accompanying pictures.
To make the work meaningful – and to work on reading fluency at the same time – we like to teach students how to read polysyllables using real words in sentences.
This resource contains 40 of sentences designed to provide students with lots of practice decoding polysyllabic words in sentences. To make the sentences more useful, we have selected decodable polysyllabic words from the New General Service List of high frequency vocabulary.
