 INSTRUCTIONS
This set of phonics books is designed to give your students practice with CVC
words and words with blends. The activities will help to improve your students’
letter/sound correspondence skills, encoding and decoding skills, reading
fluency and comprehension, and grammar skills.

Here are some important notes and tips:

• There is a suggested scope on page 10 of this download. If these books
are your students first introduction to CVC words, it is best to save the
advanced books for later.
• It is suggested to read the in-depth instructions on the next few pages.
There are detailed explanations describing how to have your students
effectively complete each page.
• There is a separate book included for nasalised a (–am and –an). The
/ă/ sound slightly changes due to the nasalised /m/ and /n/ sounds that
follow it. Nasal letters cause allophonic variations to the short a sound
/ă/ when they are positioned after it. It’s important to teach this
concept explicitly so that students do not misread and misspell
associated words.
