Early Reading Workout – Stan has three cats: Dom, Don and Dan (CVC, CVCC, CCVC)

$3.99 including GST

This 10-page workout is designed to show students the importance of decoding left to right, all the way through words, and to not guess. Featuring three cats with similar – but different – names, features, and interests, this exercise is designed to help catch and eliminate barriers to fluent decoding.

To make the exercise slightly more challenging, we have loaded the passages with consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC), consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant (CCVC) and consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant (CVCC) words; as well as high-frequency bound morphemes <-er> and <-est>, to help support children to read common comparative and superlative adjectives.

Description

Early reading workout to help students break inefficient guessing habits and to decode the words on the page (CVC, CCVC, CVCC structures, -er, -est, two-syllable words)

Too many students guess words based on pictures, the first letter, or “general shape”. Unfortunately, these strategies, which become less useful and in many cases counter-productive when students encounter books with fewer pictures, less predictable text, and words they may never have encountered. Old “guessing” habits can be a big barrier when kids make the transition from learning to read to reading to learn.

This 10-page workout is designed to show students the importance of decoding left to right, all the way through words, and to not guess. Featuring three cats with similar – but different – names, features, and interests, this exercise is designed to help catch and eliminate barriers to fluent decoding.

To make the exercise slightly more challenging, we have loaded the passages with consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC), consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant (CCVC) and consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant (CVCC) words; as well as high-frequency bound morphemes <-er> and <-est>, to help support children to read common comparative and superlative adjectives.
