The Short Vowels-book 2:
Teaches rhyming and the more difficultpatterned endings: all, end, ing, ock, unk. Teaches the "trickier" endingsthat are often overlooked because the student has "caught on".

Skils taught:

1. My Cute Little Pull Throughs teach:

• consonants,
• short vowels,
• consonant blends and digraphs and
• decoding words with patterned endings.

2. my Skinny Sentence Books teach:

• consonants and short vowels,
•  consonant blends and digraphs,
•  sight words,
•  progressively harder sight word vocabulary,
•  oral reading and decoding practice and
•  putting skills into context.

Formats used:

1.   My Cute Little Pull Throughs  are colouring book-style pictures with sound strips that the students colour, cut and pull through to read. As the student pulls the strip through the words appear one at a time to read. As the consonants change the students practice their letter sounds and blending. Colouring and cutting practice is built into the cute, fun format.

2. My Skinny Sentence Books are strip books that the students cut, staple and flip to read. Both the phonogram and the sight words are patterned so repetition helps the students review consonants, short vowels and learn sight word vocabulary. They practice oral reading with the words in context. Even Grade Ones have no trouble making them!
