Great Books for extra practice!

I really like these little books. I am a private tutor, working with students that need extra practice on skills and concepts. It is so hard to find decodable books that really focus on individual spelling patterns, so I am thrilled to find these. They align nicely with the OG program I use, and give wonderful targeted practice for each spelling pattern. I also use them for students that need to practice accuracy by reading material that is a bit behind where they are learning. The stories and illustrations are fun, and not too juvenile so as to insult my upper elementary students. Each book comes with practice activities to further reinforce learning, which are very helpful as well.

  • Picture Match

    Reading words with new spelling patterns can be tricky for kids. Encourage your child to practice their new skills by reading each word and matching it with the correct picture.

  • Tapping Out Words

    One of the earliest steps in reading is recognizing the sounds that go into a word. This word-mapping activity encourages children to sound words out and determine which letters work together to create a single sound.

  • Sentence Completion

    Part of reading fluently is understanding the words on the page. This sentence completion activity encourages children to think about what a sentence means in order to determine how it can logically be completed.
