  • (R208) CVC/CCVC minimal pairs and near minimal pairs contrasted in short sentences

    $4.99 including GST

    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.

  • (R209) CCVC Words in Sentences: Is Stan a Brat?

    $4.99 including GST

    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.

  • Early sound blending practice 5

    (R210) Early sound blending practice 5: CVCC words – starting with a continuant

    $5.99 including GST

    Now that the student has learned to decode and encode simple CVC and CCVC words composed on the basic code, we step up to working with consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant (CVCC) word structures composed of high frequency letter-sound links.

    Why blending? Learning to decode letters into speech sounds, and then to blend the speech sounds together to form words is a fundamental reading skill for all students in their first year of schooling.

    Why read and write the words? Early encoding (writing) practice helps consolidate early decoding (reading) skills (and vice versa).

  • (R211) CVC/CVCC minimal pairs and near minimal pairs contrasted in short sentences

    $4.99 including GST

    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.

  • (R212) Word Decoding Exercises: CCVC and CVCC Speed Reads

    $4.99 including GST

    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).
