Phonics Stories, Long Vowels

Phonics Stories, Long Vowels is appropriate for intermediate beginner readers and students of all abilities who are learning to read. The first five stories systematically introduce one long vowel sound at a time. The sixth story introduces soft c and g. At the end of each story, the author provides tips on how the student can identify the main character, conflict, resolution, and theme. The questions give readers opportunities to engage with the text and interact with the author and instructor. Also, a phonics word study accompanies each story. Beginner readers and students of all abilities benefit from reading instruction that systematically introduces letters and letter groups. When readers learn phonics explicitly and in an orderly and methodical way, they can see how words can be consistent. With time and practice, they build a relationship with letters, letter groups, and words. This is how struggling readers’ interest, skills, and confidence grow.

Laurie Hunter earned her master’s in education from The University of Texas at Austin and has been teaching children of all abilities how to read using this systematic reading instruction since 2005. A reading instruction manual, other phonics stories, and 3-D visual aids are sold separately.
