Author Description

"This series was designed to inspire beginning readers as they immerse themselves in learning the relationship between letter sounds and the words they create. The goal is to develop a strong world-decoding foundation while building word knowledge and improving fluency. In this book, the easy-to-use worksheets include printing practice for the following sound-related activities: Reviewing beginning and ending consonants; exploring hard and soft letter sounds, blends, digraphs, and trigraphs; hearing differences in long and short vowels, the sounds of y, vowel teams, and other unique vowel sounds; isolating and matching beginning, middle, and ending sounds to letters and connecting pictures to the words that represent them; increasing understanding that printed words have meaning and that reading, writing, and spelling are all connected"--Page 4 of cover.
