Sylvia S. Davison, author of the
Go Phonics Reading Program:
As a classroom teacher, using
an Orton-Gillingham method,
I didnt have access to all the
strategies, techniques, and
tools available in Go Phonics.
Now theyre in one program,
along with gems I discovered
during 20 years of tutoring.
To promote independence in
reading and spelling, explicit
and systematic phonics must be
taught, practiced, and applied
with language arts, in a core
beginning reading program.

INTRODUCTION
Go Phonics Reading Program
First published in 2001
2nd Edition in 2006 Now with
NEWBasic Skills Assessments and
Scat! Short a Stories volume
Go Phonics Reading Program
Our mission is to empower teachers, tutors, and parent/educa-
tors to effectively teach ALL beginning readers, especially those
who struggle or have dyslexia/language learning difficulties.
Get everyone reading: Sylvia S. Davisons first 7 years as a
2nd grade teacher revealed to her how some students just didnt
get it using the core reading curriculum. She wanted to do something about it,
so she trained in an Orton-Gillingham approachdeveloped to effectively teach
students who struggle, have dyslexia/LLD. The next 18 years were spent teaching
whole classes of struggling/dyslexic 2nd graders. Since retirement, she has been
tutoring for more than 20 years, averaging 22 students a week.
Why Go Phonics? Early on, Sylvia wrote her own lesson plans, then adapted and
created the necessary practice materials. A vital component was always missing:
decodable stories that support the phonics lessons in a good sequence. Without
them, students struggle making the connection to reading. To achieve success,
they have to APPLY phonics and language arts AS THEY ARE TAUGHT, in stories
they CAN READ. The readers available had too many sight words. Those who
could memorize all those words werent getting the word decoding fluency prac-
tice (needed to sound out new/larger words). The phonetic readers were either
too simple, introduced too many codes at once, or had a poor sequence. When
Sylvia retired, she partnered with daughter Holly L. Davison (a career graphic
designer, illustrator, marketer, publisher). They set out to create Go Phonics.
The cornerstone of Go Phonics: Over 90 text-to-life stories are 93% decodable
and cumulative. They align with 79 explicit phonics lessons. The phonics sequence
is highly strategized so its Orton-Gillingham based and compatible, minimizes con-
fusion, shows the patterns, and has students decoding/reading more words sooner.
Go Phonics integrated tools: Lesson plans, worksheets, games, songs... provide
the preparation and practice for reading success. Worksheets apply phonics and
language arts skills that are in the story. The 50 phonics games expose students to
many code based words as they draw cards and sound out words. It builds fluency
prior to reading. Its also an opportunity to teach words and their meanings.
The Go Phonics approach is Orton-Gillingham based: explicit, systematic, mul-
tisensory, and for direct instruction one on one and small groups. With phonics
steering the course, lessons include the alphabet, handwriting, reading, spelling,
rules, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, language arts... These skills are
taught in support of each phonics code and in preparation for reading each story.
Go Phonics helps you effectively teach the spelling choices and rules so students
can look up/read words on their own. The Teachers Guide includes strategies to
solve dyslexia issues with reversals, spelling, retention, directionality, and blends.
This primary phonics based language foundation is needed if students are to
achieve common core success from 3rd grade on. Go Phonics!
3
The students go through an amazing process with the games.
Rather than use flash cards, or dive right into reading, they
decode words with the new sound/spelling by playing a game.
At first they cant....then they stumble....then they can!
Its fun, builds confidence, and is preparation for reading success!

gained over years. Charts provide procedures in multisensory instruction
for teaching a letter, spelling words, reading words. There are questions for oral
reading. The rules are there where you need them. Handwriting instruction avoids
difficulties with reversals, directionality, blends...
7 Storybook Volumes Levels 1-5 (93% decodable/cumulative) support the
phonics sequence and lessons. They build on skills for ongoing practice. There are
over 90 stories and 600+ pages. Scat! Short aStories are for Level 1 - Alphabet
reading early on in. Levels 2-5 stories introduce a new vowel, digraph, trigraph or
phonogram and build on the skills. Text-to-life, they launch creative telling/writing.
4 Chart Set: 3 Key Word Charts have 96 key words for teaching sounds/spellings
(in the order they appear in the stories). They come with a Prefix & Suffix Chart.
108 Letter Cards for daily visual review of sounds taught
5 Workbooks (Levels 1-5) include phonemic awareness, handwriting, phonics,
grammar, punctuation, comprehension, and language arts skills in the stories.
50 Phonics Games (over 1400 cards, 4 spinners, 12 boards) provide the practice
and repetition students need to fluently decode words with the new sound
(including blends)many to appear in the new story and in future stories.
Songs for Learning to Read has phonemic awareness, rhyme, phonetic rules, and
helps students grasp/retain language concepts (nouns, verbs, adjectives...)
Assessments to know where to start, find gaps, check progress in phonemic
awareness, phonics, reading, nonsense syllables, spelling/choices, comprehension
Word Lists book is the phonics instructors desk companion that can be
used dailyto make comparisons to students, spelling lists, games...

Teaching Struggling & Beginning Readers
Comprehensive Phonics helps all beginning readers and can be vital for
beginning readers who struggle, or have dyslexia/LLD. Some students, no matter
how bright and motivated, experience reading, spelling, and/or writing difficulties.
They exhibit weakness in auditory and/or visual processing of the language. These
students need to be taught the sounds of the language, and the letters which repre-
sent them (phonemic awareness/phonics). They need the direct teaching of the
major sound-spelling relationships a step at a time in a clearly defined sequence
with substantial practice. They have to use multiple senses simultaneously to organ-
ize and retain their learning.
The Orton-Gillingham Approach was evaluated with others in at least three
different studies reviewed by the National Reading Panel. It fulfills the panels
research findings that the best approach to reading instruction is one that incor-
porates explicit instruction in phonemic awareness and systematic phonics.
Go Phonics maximizes the effectiveness of this approach with instruction thats
explicit, systematic, sequential, simultaneous multisensory. Handwriting
instruction, a good phonics sequence and phonics/language arts skills applied
in phonetically sequenced stories results that are truly synergistic!
Simultaneous multisensory helps all learning styles. All students learn
differently. Rarely is a student strong in both reading and spelling.
A visual learner may be a good reader but have poor auditory skills for spelling.
An auditory learner may be a good speller but have trouble with reading.
Learners extremely weak in one or both areas struggle to learn and are often
diagnosed as having a language learning difficulty (LLD/dyslexia).
Go Phonics uses simultaneous multisensory techniques hands, eyes, ears, voice
used together. Example: As the student names the letter, she forms it on the
desk. It calls the different senses into action. This sends a stronger message to
the brain for a deeper impression and greater retention. Students who struggle
can learn using the stronger sense, while strengthening the weaker ones.
A good phonics foundation helps ALL students. Far too often, natural readers
who can memorize thousands of words are passed along without being given
comprehensive phonics instruction. At some point, they start to get confused as
more words must be learned by sight (especially multi-syllable words). Without
a good phonics foundation, at some point, ALL students resort to guessing.
A student, glancing at the word hummingbird, proceeded to read aloud:
Once a hamburger perched on her red jacket . . . The word hummingbird
can be read (decoded) by any student with a phonics foundation.
With Go Phonics, students learn their choices for spelling. They know what to
look up in the dictionary. They know the codes and strategies to more correctly
pronounce words theyre reading. These skills are all needed from 3rd grade on.

Go Phonics Game
Note: These are foundational primary phonics codes.
Some codes are not taught in Go Phonics because:
theyre not in the programs stories and there are only
a few words with that code. Examples: ch (chef)
/sh/, ough (dough) /o / The Word Lists book, with
over 140 phonetically based lists, includes these.
Go Phonics 50 Game Set
These interactive phonics games are an engaging way to master
word decoding and fluency skills. They also provide an opportunity
to enrich vocabulary and to expand students comprehension of
the meaning of new words. Each game offers a different twist as it
focuses on words with the sound being taught. The game is often the high-
light of the lesson. Do we get to play a game today? they ask. In this way,
theyre eager to participate in the necessary practice in preparation for read-
ing the Go Phonics story for that lesson. Many of the words will appear in the
new story and in future stories. The games can be played one-on-one, in small
groups, on game days, or as an after school activity. There are 12 boards, 3 spin-
ners, and 1400+ cards that when disassembled store in 2 trays. GPGM2100
The students go through an amazing
decoding process with the games:
At first they cant....then they stumble....then they can!
Its fun, builds confidence, and is valuable
preparation for reading success.
EXAMPLE:
Big Foot card game oo = /oo /
The cards in this game all have a
foot on the back. They are the feet
of a chicken, dog, duck, person, etc. The object is to get as
many matching pairs as you can. Cards are placed face up on the table
(words showing). A student draws a card, reads it (shook, hook, or crook...),
then places it in front of her so the foot shows. The card with Big Foot
is a wild card. It is saved until the end and used to make a pair with any
unmatched foot but the sneaker. The player adds up the points on the cards she
has matched. The player with the most points is the winner. This decoding prac-
tice is preparation for reading the story Cooking on the Front Burner.

This is a tremendous program. The
lesson guides have been very clear.
Its all right there. My daughter has
really glommed-on to the games.
What really makes it for us

a peek at a map. Its across
the east coast of the U.S.,
even with the state of Maine.
The Atlantic Ocean is in

A bit more is on the Bay of

Seven Decodable
Storybook Volumes
by Sylvia S. Davison
Go Phonics stories support the phonics based lessons as they build on
the skills. Seven volumes (over 90 stories/600+ pages) are 93% decod-
able and cumulative. With this component, students can apply what
theyve learned in a meaningful story they can really read. Any non-
decodable words in the story are listed at the beginning of the story
and are taught in advance. Everything else can be decoded based on
skills learned thus far in this phonics sequence. Text-to-life, stories
include people of all ages and nationalities, making them acceptable
to older beginning readers as well.
Level 1: Scat!
Short a Stories
These short a stories are for teaching
Level 1Letters of the Alphabet. As soon as a
sequence of 15 letters has been taught, reading
decodable stories begins. With each new story,
students apply consonants just learned to mean-

Go Phonics Program Overview
Phonics-based lesson plans guide you each step of the way through a
carefully prescribed series of 79 strategized lessons for direct instruction. The lessons
are divided into 5 phonics levels. Explicit and systematic directions help both begin-
ning and experienced teachers maximize instruction. Rather than trying to absorb it
ALL before starting, you can study the introduction with strategies and techniques.
Each level begins with the guidance youll be needing to teach that level. The first
lesson is done in greater detail for reference. Go over the quick reference charts for
the procedures youll be using. Then, follow each lesson and teach it using the
Go Phonics integrated tools to carry out the practice and apply the skills.
In lessons, students review, learn, practice, then apply skills in reading:
1. Daily reviewwith letter cards of phonics skills already taught
2. Daily auditory review, spelling/segmenting/writing words with phonics skills learned
3. Teaching a new phonics skill with reading and spelling rules
4. Worksheets: phonics, rhyme, same beginning sounds, sentence structure, punctuation,
vocabulary, phonetic crossword puzzles, language arts, phrases from the story...
5. Playing a phonics game: fluency practice blending/reading words with the new skill
6. Teaching the non-decodable words that will be in the story
7. Oral reading of a meaningful text-to-life decodable story with new and previous skills.
8. Oral reading questions (provided) include vocabulary, comprehension, language arts
9. Creative telling/writing suggestions to connect the story to their world
The Phonics Sequence Provides Big Benefits:
From start to finish, Go Phonics covers the major sound-spellings of vowels and con-
sonants (including digraphs, trigraphs, and phonograms) that make up the 42 basic
sounds of the English language. Each lesson explicitly teaches a letter-sound relation.
The phonics sequence is Orton-Gillingham based and compatible to minimize confu-
sion for all beginning readers and especially those with dyslexia/LLD. It
shows the patterns and relationshipsideal for those with good logical
thinking, math skills. It helps students better understand the rules for
reading, and provides good strategies for spelling. It supports
highly decodable stories with more words students can decode
sooner, as they gradually build their knowledge of the codes.
Level 1 - Alphabet focuses on explicit and systematic
instruction in each letter its name, proper formation, key
word, and sound all taught in the same lesson. In this way,
phonemic awareness, phonics, and handwriting are integrated
from the start. Students practice the new letter-sound in
spelling, worksheets (including letter writing practice), phonics
games, activities, suggested read-alouds, and songs.

Children who learn to read
strictly through word memo-
rization often get confused as
more words are taught. Rather
than looking at the letters and
phonetically decoding the word,
they look at the whole word
thus confusing words like
house and horse.
Go Phonics
OVERVIEW
The letter sequence starts with the simplest one to forml, then related letters
based on stroke. Lower case letters are stressed (because they dominate in text).
Handwriting instruction, spelling, and reading stories happens at this level. Once
7 letters have been taught, students can read 5 rhyming words: at, fat, hat, bat, cat.
As soon as short a has been taught, spelling and reading words is a part of every
lesson. Lessons progress to words with the same beginning and different ending:
cat, can, cap... Reading stories happens early on. As soon as 15 letters have been
taught in the Go Phonics sequence, students begin reading the 8 short a stories.
By the end of Level 1, students are able to name each letter as they form it, then
give the sound. Theyre able to read, write, and spell 3-letter words with short a.
In Level 2 - Short Vowels the first few short stories have short a and words
with consonant blends (like flat and grab). The games give word decoding practice
prior to reading. There are several stories for each vowel. The order is: a, i, o, u
and e. The sound of short e is often confused with short a and short i, and so it is
taught last because it is the most difficult. The digraphs and trigraphs (two or three
consonants that make their own sound like sh in ship and tch in catch) are
taught one at a time, and sprinkled into the reading throughout the instruction.
By the time Level 2 work is completed, students will know the name, formation,
and sound of each short vowel, digraph, and trigraph. They will be reading stories,
and writing and spelling words with these sounds.
Level 3 - Long Vowels starts with the vowel-consonant-e pattern, with ee last,
to move smoothly into the next pattern of sounds: take the consonant out of ee
and you have ee. This makes the same sound. This is done to the other vowels
ie, oe, ue all have the long sound. This pattern is also taught: that ee will
often end a word, but more often will be followed by a consonant. The others
always come at the end of words. This provides a good strategy for spelling.
Students learn that ai and ay function in the same way. The i and y can be
called twins. When students see that ai is always followed by a consonant, and
ay is at the end of a word or syllable, they gain additional spelling strategies.
Level 4 - Vowels Controlled by r and l, starts with the phonogram ar. This
is one of the few sounds in English for which there is only one spelling. There are
two ways to spell the or sound. Then come the other vowels and combinations
to make the common sound er. An important concept taught here is that of all
of these, er is the most important. True, the list of one-syllable words is short,
but er comes at the end of hundreds of multi-syllable words. More importantly,
it is used as a suffix to turn a verb into a noun, and make adjectives comparative.
Level 5 - More Vowel Pairs has a pattern worth noting. These pairs of phono-
grams are taught: ow ou, ew eu, aw au. These pairs make the same
sounds, but the ones with u never occur at the end of wordsanother strategy
for spelling. With oi and oy, the i and y are acting like twins again. The oi is
always followed by a consonant, and oy comes at the end of a word or syllable.

OVERVIEW
The Components of Effective Reading Instruction
National Reading Panel research reveals the 5 key components needed for effective
reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and compre-
hension. Go Phonics integrates these skills to help students make the connection.
Phonemic awareness, phonics, and handwriting are integrated from the very
beginning as a letters name, formation, key word, and sound are taught together.
They are then used together throughout the program to maximize learning and reten-
tionapplied in review, spelling, worksheets, games, activities... Examples:
Matching the letter to words that begin with the same sound
Identifying beginning sounds of objects and giving the beginning letter
Activities and read alouds for practicing hearing and identifying a sound
Daily auditory review hearing a sound and identifying its letter
Phonetically based spelling includes a procedure for segmenting the sounds
Students phonetically spell and read words, then stories starts early on. Worksheets
include words that rhyme, have same beginning/different ending, and phonetic
crossword puzzles. Students also learn how to divide between syllables.
Spelling is part of each lesson after short a is taught (Level 1 - Lesson 8). Lessons
include lists of spelling words presented in sequential order to strengthen sound-
spelling word analysis (sack, snack, cap, camp, sad, sand...).
In building block fashion, students are taught the major sound-spelling relationships,
gradually learning the choices for spelling a sound. Multiple spellings of the same
sound are taught by creating a yellow card. Lessons have you gradually add the
choices as you go. Example: long a can be spelled a-consonant-e (rake), ai (rain),
ay (hay), ei (vein), eigh (eight).
The rules for spelling and reading are in each lesson. This helps students to
whittle down the choices for spelling a word. It gives them good strategies for
knowing the most likely choice is and to be able to look a word up in the diction-
ary. They can also look at many words and know how they can be pronounced.
Without the codes, it becomes a guessing game, jeopardizing learning.
Wesley, a 3rd grade student shared with his tutor that he was writing a paper in class
and wanted to use the word weigh. He asked the teacher how to spell it, and she told
him to go look it up in the dictionary. I had no idea what to look up! he exclaimed.
Daily spelling review of skills learned is done using each lessons spelling list.
It consists of phonetically based words and nonsense syllables, plus red flag words.
Theres a procedure for spelling that includes identifying the vowel sound, naming
the letter while forming it, then segmenting and writing the spelling word.
Handwriting instruction includes the stick and clock approach. This approach
helps with directionality (writing from left to right), and prevents inverting and
reversing letters that often get confused (like b/d, u/n, and p/b). The manu-
script style used in Go Phonics transitions well into cursive writing.

Reading First - National
Reading Panel Report:
The best approach to reading
instruction is one that incor-
porates explicit instruction
in phonemic awareness,
systematic phonics instruc-
tion, methods to improve
fluency, and ways to enhance
comprehension.
RESEARCH BASED:
Go Phonics is Orton-Gillingham
based and compatible, and is
supported by National Reading
Panel research findings.
Handwriting adds the kinesthetic-tactile sense to visual and auditory. In this
program, as letters are formed with fingers on a rough surface and with full arm
motion, they are spoken, seen, (and heard) for a simultaneous multisensory
effect. This creates a multisensory triangle for a gateway to learning.
Handwriting can trigger the correct spelling response: Some students will
forget the name of a letter and the sound it makes.
When Carson forgot the letter j, he was asked to form the letter with his fingers.
This triggered his memory. He named the letter, gave the sound, and exclaimed,
When I wrote the letter, it came to my head!
Handwriting can help trigger the correct reading response:
Cassidy read pant for paint. When asked to write the phonogram ai on the table
reciting ai, /a /, paint, she instantly corrected herself.
Fluency is practiced with 50 phonics games. The Go Phonics games support
each lesson, providing students with fun practice decoding many words with the
new phonics skill. This helps train the brain to more quickly process the codes in
a word. The games also include practice with consonant blends (scrub, lunch,
hunt, stump...). Its preparation for reading the decodable story at the end of the
lesson, and builds fluency in reading the text so it flows with greater meaning.
Using the games for spelling: The game playing process can be enriched by
having the student spell the words as cards are drawn.
Vocabulary and comprehension skills are experienced in the workbooks which
include phrases from the story; in the games while discussing meanings of words;
in questions during oral reading; in creative telling and writing discussion; and by
discussing the meaning of words in the program and doing suggested word play.
The games also provide opportunities for vocabulary enrichment. Cards with
unknown words provide opportunities to look up, explain, demonstrate a words
meaning(s). The text-to-life decodable stories are about meaningful experiences,
many with problems and solutions which stimulate students to share their own
experiences. This launches students into creative telling and writing.
Grammar, punctuation, and language arts skills flow from the worksheets into
the stories. Students learn to write simple sentences. They learn to use compound
words, contractions, abbreviations, suffixes, punctuation marks, proper nouns...
These components are also in the oral reading questions which can be done interac-
tively with a group using a white/black board. The skills are taught in preparation
for what will be in the story for that lesson.
Decodable reading begins in Level 1. After 15 letters have been taught students
begin reading the 8 short a stories. From Level 2 on, students read one or more
stories in every lesson. In building block fashion, over 90 phonetically sequenced
stories (93% decodable/cumulative) apply the phonics and language arts taught in
a lesson. Students get the necessary preparation and practice, then apply the
skills to successfully read the story. Confidence soars!

The Go Phonics Basic Skills Assessments help determine a students knowl-
edge of phonics and document the results. With the Applied Phonics portion
you can check for the ability to APPLY the phonics skills to read, comprehend,
and spell. Assessment track:
Part 1. Knowledge of Phonics level by level:
Phonemic Awareness and Phonics sound/letter recognition
Nonsense Syllables using parts of words to check decoding skills
Choices for Spelling Sounds listing the ways a given sound can be spelled
Red Flag Words reading non-decodable words
Part 2. Applied Phonics level by level:
Reading the decodable story applying that levels phonics skills
Comprehension answering questions about the story
Phonetic spelling words written with students handwriting observed
Featuring Five Decodable Stories: Authored by Sylvia S. Davison, there are
five meaningful, text-to-life stories that are highly decodable using controlled
text. They are similar in style to the Go Phonics decodable readers. Level 1 is a
short a story. Levels 2 - 5 stories utilize a high percentage of the phonics skills
for that level. Students read the story aloud. Hesitations and errors are marked
and tabulated by the administrator to arrive at a percentage score.
Know where to start students with prior knowledge to determine the phonics
level, as well as pinpoint difficulties and gaps. Strategies have been implanted that
will help reveal what a student struggles with, and dyslexic tendencies: flipping
or inverting letters, reading words in the wrong direction, getting letters confused...
Assess When to Start: Many children can start instruction as early as 4 to 4.5
years, and some even sooner. Starting early helps address and minimize inherent
weaknesses. When to start depends on the students eye to hand coordination,
attention span, and maturity (the ability to get it and retain it).
Assess K Students: All kindergarten students should be assessed at the begin-
ning of the K year to reveal a knowledge of letter names, letter sounds,
proper formation of letters, and ability to decode short vowel a words.
Assess the Natural Reader: Some students are natural readers, almost having
been born with the ability to read. These students often memorize whole words.
They dont always know individual letter sounds or the spelling choices and rules.
They havent had practice sounding words out. This can create future problems
with reading or spelling new/larger/multi-syllable words. The Nonsense Syllables
and Choices for Spelling Sounds assessments help reveal gaps.
Document Student Progress: You can use the assessments as each level is
completed, to document student progress.

Student Page
Getting Started
For Pre-K (4 to 4-1/2) and Kindergarten start at the beginning. Some will
move quickly, learning a sound during each session. Others may require several
sessions for one sound with the lesson spread over an entire week. If a lesson is
done over a period of days, make sure you do the auditory and visual review
of the letter cards EVERY DAY.
Give the Go Phonics Assessments to determine placement for those who
arent beginners. They also serve as a baseline to measure progress. Start at the
beginning. Here are some examples of placement in Go Phonics:
Example 1: A K student failed the Letter Name Recognition assessment. His
parents insisted he knew the alphabet. It turned out that he knew only capital
letters. Knowing lower case letters is most essential, since those are the predomi-
nant letters appearing in the reading. The student started at the beginning, learn-
ing name, formation, and sound of the letters (emphasis on lower case).
Example 2: A 1st grade boy, a non-reader, knew all the letters and their names,
but knew none of the sounds. He began instruction with Level 1: Letters of the
Alphabet, but moved more quickly than the K student mentioned above.
Example 3: A 1st grade student knew letter names and sounds, but was not
reading. He could, however, spell any 3-letter word. His auditory skills were
exceptionally strong, and visual skills very poor. If given a list of words to spell,
he did it correctly, but could not read the words back. The solution here was to
have him spell one or two words at a time, read them back, then find them on
the workbook page. Gradually, he was able to read back more words at a time,
and with daily visual and auditory review (using the letter cards), was able to
improve reading.
Example 4: A 2nd grader did well until Vowel-Consonant & Vowel-Consonant-e
discrimination (Assessment 6). She began instruction at the end of Level 2:
Short Vowels, to instill confidence, then on to Level 3: Long Vowels.
Example 5: A 3rd grader made errors on Assessments 6, 7, and 8 (long vowels),
but when asked to read a story, did well. Further observations, showed that her
handwriting and spelling were very poor. She had learned the whole language
approach and had memorized words. She had no phonics skills. She began at
Level 3: Long Vowels, with and emphasis on phonics, handwriting, and spelling.
Example 6: A sixth grader had memorized many words she needed to read but
did not have the phonics skills to decode a multi-syllable word she had never
seen. The Nonsense Syllables Assessments (for decoding/reading) and Auditory
Assessments (for encoding/spelling) helped reveal this. Once assessed, it was
essential to teach and review the phonics skills DAILY, to use the letter cards, and
create the cards for building the multiple spellings for each sound.

The Pace:
The teaching pace will vary with
the age, maturity, ability, and attitude
of the student. It can range from
taking several sessions to teach one
letter and sound, to teaching several
letters and sounds in one session.
The time spent teaching a lesson
can be for 20 minutes (4 to 5 yr. old),
30 minutes (for a 6 or 7 year old),
and possibly 45 minutes for an
older student. Work with the stu-
dent to determine the best pace.
The time to complete the course
can take from 1-1/2 to 3 years,
depending on the age, ability,
and maturity of the student.
Q: What about working with older students using Go Phonics?
Author, Sylvia Davison often tutors 3rd and 4th grade age students and has had stu-
dents 15 years of age and some adults. Go Phonics was designed not to talk down
to older students, she comments. If they don't have this foundation, then they need
to be taught it.
Example: Long a can be spelled a-consonant-e (rake), ai (rain), ay (hay), ei (vein),
eigh (eight), ey (obey). If a student knows the choices for spelling a word, he can look
it up in the dictionary and identify the correct spelling. He can look at most words and
know how they can be pronounced.
Q: Will he find the story content interesting enough?
The stories are meaningful and text-to-life with people of all ages. Each story intro-
duces the new phongram(s) for that lesson which also appear in future stories for
more decoding practice. Even if the student finds some of the stories a bit easy,
Sylvia adds, he is becoming acquainted with decoding words with that phonogram
in the context of a meaningful storywhich prepares him for future reading situa-
tions. Teaching in this way solves the problem of coming across an unknown word
with that phonogram and guessing rather than decoding.
Q: What if a student has a high sight word memory?
Sylvia: "He still won't be able to read well and will struggle. He needs a good phonics
foundation so he can decode a large percentage of the words he comes across. What I
do is first give the Go Phonics Assessments to determine where to start instruction.
The first set of assessments goes level by level and is for Letter and Sound Recognition.
It's designed for placement and to help determine dyslexic tendencies (directionality--
seeing letters flipped or reversed). For those who can read common words they've
memorized, there is a Nonsense Syllables assessment. These "non-words" have to be
decoded (read aloud) based on a knowledge of phonics. They are parts of real words,
but are not words by themselves.
Q: Will it be challenging enough for an older student?
For some older students, two or three lessons can be done in a setting. For the stu-
dent who needs the instruction to be a bit more challenging, the lessons can be done
as they are presented, with a few minor modifications: When conducting spelling, add
some harder words to the spelling list, using words from the Word Lists book that are
for the phonogram(s) being reviewed. When playing the games with a student who
has a high sight word memory (is strong visually), or finds the words used in the
games or spelling lists too easy, select unfamiliar words from the word list for that
phonogram. These words can be written on card stock that is cut to the same size as
the game cards (with a number added for points.) Mix these in with the main deck.
The Game Rules Guide has additional ideas.

My oldest daughter has dyslexia and I struggled through many different
programs. Go Phonics turned her failures into triumphs: shes reading at
grade level and her confidence has soared! I started my younger one at
age 5. Shes almost done and has loved the program, especially the stories
(good characters and plots). Now she reads all the time. I would heartily
recommend Go Phonics. The success it has achieved with two very different
learning styles attests to its effectiveness. Kim King, 17-year home educator/advisor
This is a fabulous program! It has helped my son tremendously. With this
program, in 6 weeks, I was able to correct his directionality using the stick
and clock approach to teaching the letters. I am home schooling my son and

I used the Go Phonics Kit during a long-term substitute position for
7 months of the school year, teaching 2nd grade struggling readers. I was
introduced to Go Phonics at a workshop by the Anchorage School District
Slingerland Program and was given a kit to use in the classroom. I found
the games to be a great benefit. The students loved them. It improved their
vocabulary, reading skills and thinking skills. The books are wonderful.
The words in the games are tied to the books. I loved what I experienced in
working with this program. All of my students were reading at grade level
by the end of the year. I attribute this to this wonderful program.
Mary Duer, reading specialistAK
The games and songs are such a blessing! The games really work as
engaging games. He was playing! As long as he could beat mom in a
game it was not work. The books are fun, funny, and delightfully illustrated.
It is so obvious that this was a well thought out program. Janet Zugar, parent
My 5-year old daughter was really struggling. I even have a Slingerland
teaching background. But without the materials to go with my training,
it was difficult to make progress. Then I started teaching her with
Go Phonics. It compliments my Slingerland training. She is learning
her letters and beginning to read. This program really works!
Nancy Winniford, home educator and teacherAK
I homeschooled my daughter using your program. She entered public school
this year as a 3rd grader. As I knew, she was put in special ed. The amaz-
ing part is the teachers and the principal noticed what a good reader she
was. They all said she would not be at grade level if it was not for home-
schooling. This is my daughter who could not read 3 letter words at the
beginning of 1st grade. They are keeping her in special ed so she does not
fall behind. Her main teacher commented on what a good reader she was
and how she could tell I worked with her. This is only possible because of
your amazing program!!! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Christina B., home educator - AK
Go Phonics is wonderful! My children
love everything about the program.
I am home schooling my 3 children
(2nd, 1st and K) and I am able to teach
them all together. Thank you so much.

District Level: Over $50,000 was received in Learning Opportunity Grant funds this year
(2003). The biggest expenditure was for Go Phonics Kits to support Slingerland teachers
with additional decodable texts, black line masters, lesson plans, and games. The data
shows that teachers using the Go Phonics Kits in the classroom had a 37% increase in
proficient readers. The Grant also funded a one-day in-service for first grade Slingerland
teachers in September. I found it interesting that the fall assessment shows that only 30%
of students placed in Slingerland first grade classrooms were proficient. By the end of the
year, 68% of the students were proficient, and 32% were potentially struggling. This data
suggests some important information: 1) Slingerland first grade classrooms are definitely
being utilized for placement of at-risk students for learning to read, write, and spell. (Only
30% were considered to be at grade level by the beginning of first grade.) 2) The data
points to a need for simultaneous, multisensory, direct instruction at the second grade
level since 32% of students are not proficient by the end of first grade. That corresponds
to National data as well, that a large number of children need more than one year to
become proficient in reading. Vicki HodgeAnchorage School District, AK
Home Education: "This is a wonderful program. It has helped both my children tremen-
dously. The oldest is 9 and has severe ADHD in addition to dyslexia. The program really
holds his interest as well as my 7 year old's. They love the games and also enjoy the work-
books and stories. We've done other programs, but Go Phonics made it all click. It has
made a world of difference and has really built his confidence level. The first grader, who
doesn't have problems, is moving through the program smoothly and quickly."
Franca Landreth home educator
Resource: As a resource teacher I get students with behavior disorders, non-verbal
disorders, bipolar, Asbergers, dyslexia... This program is absolutely wonderful! I wanted to
use the Orton-Gillingham approach, so I invested in Go Phonics because all the work has
been done for me. Its all planned out in the Teachers Guide, with materials I can use to
reach these kids. When they come to me for reading, theyre excited about it because they
know they can do it. D. Evans - resource teacher, WA
Learning Center: With the addition of the Go Phonics Multisensory Reading Program,
Clever Minds is now equipped to teach students who are having a difficult time learning
to read due to speech and language delays and/or learning disabilities. It walks
students through 5 levels of reading through games, books, and activities. We invested
in Go Phonics for many reasons. It has a strong correlation with the National Reading
Panels recommendations in Put Reading First. With the programs strong phonics foun-
dation, students will learn to decode and decipher words to better increase fluency and
comprehension. Go Phonics is also consistent with the Houghton Mifflin Reading
Curriculumprovided in TTUSD. Clever Minds Educational Services - Truckee, CA
Reading Specialists: I teach not only children but 30- and 40-year old adults as well.
Your books are precious to them. Its because your stories are not stupid to them. Theyre
funny, theyre text-to-world, theyre about science... You introduce the mechanics of our lan-
guage at a very early level. You have prepositional phrases...The stories get longer as you get
more advanced, so I can have the students do book reports. I truly have not seen anything
that matches your books for teaching beginning reading on a phonics level.

Uses, Testimonials
With Go Phonics, students are reading and spelling at higher levels sooner. They learn the
rules. Go Phonics helps solve difficulties with reversals, spelling, retention, directionality,
blends... It helps establish good handwriting. Students are reading (decoding words) more
fluently by playing the games and reading the stories. In addition, these text-to-life stories
are a platform for improving comprehension, and creative telling and writing skills.
Kindergarten: This has been the second year I have used GoPhonics in my kinder-
garten classroom and I want to shout from the roof top how well my kids are reading
and writing! Their accomplishments have been absolutely amazing. Your methods start-
ed them from day one holding their pencils the correct way, and have eliminated letter
reversals. As of mid-March, one group is now half way through Level 2 (short vowels).
I also have another group in Level 3 (long vowels) reading with ease. This program is
so very teacher friendly and it supplies everything needed to teach no matter what the
individual students needs are. That is essential today when we teachers are given
students with such a wide array of beginning capabilities and special needs. My parents
are so very happy and amazed at their childrens progress.
Rita Newmarker, kindergarten teacherGA
2nd Grade Classroom: Im not a remedial teacher... I'm a classroom teacher with
an intense desire to see kids succeed in school. Many of the children in my 2nd grade
class started the school year reading at below beginning 1st grade level (<1.0). I used
GoPhonics as my prime reading program (supplemented with read-alouds from our
district's anthology). With GoPhonics, I saw the positive results first hand.
Kristine Kukla, 2nd grade teacherNY
1st Grade Classroom: The following are results from the Woodcock Johnson III
Diagnostic Reading Battery given to 9 first grade students from two classrooms. Students
were tested at the beginning of the school year (9/24) for skills shown. The Go Phonics
Program(First Edition) was used as the core reading curriculum during this 2004-05
school year. NOTE: Mid-March, as the students completed Level 4Vowels Controlled by r
and l, they began transitioning into Open Court (the adopted program) having a good
foundation, and supplemented with Level 5More Vowel Pairs to the end of the year.

Level 1 - Letters of the Alphabet

Students start handwriting, reading, spelling, and writing words,
then reading decodable stories early on.
Students get explicit, multisensory instruction in the name, proper formation,
and sound of each letter. The sequence promotes reading words as soon
as possible. As soon as 6 consonants and short a have been taught, letters are
being combined to make words to read. Soon, spelling becomes a part of
every lesson as well. After 15 letters have been taught, the student reads the
first in a series of short a stories.
Handwriting is part of each lesson with instruction in the proper formation
of each letter. (not ball and stick, but stick and clock for a smoother
transition to cursive writing).
Simultaneous multisensory techniques are part of daily auditory and
visual review using the letter cards, and spelling words.
Games provide practice in letter/sound recognition, and in decoding
short a words. Activities and songs are used for reinforcement and
cementing in long term memory.
Read aloud books are listed for each letter, to reinforce the letter sound
and work on comprehension. Comprehension questions are provided,
to be asked during the students oral reading of the mini-stories.
Worksheets provide letter/sound identification and handwriting practice.
By the end of Level 1, the student will be able to name each letter as she
forms it, then give the sound. She will be able to read, write, and spell
3-letter words with short a.
Level 1 Tools: Teachers Guide (with strategies, procedures, and lesson plans),
workbook, 8 short a stories (110 page book), 2 Level 1 card games,
songbook with audio CD, activities, read alouds (suggested library books),
and tools to be made: feel box, screen board

Lesson 7: Letter a, A
Auditory Review and Handwriting Practice
From now on visual review will come later in the lesson.
___________________________________________________________________
Teach the New Letter: (Trace-Copy-Write)
Lower case: Lower case a starts just like lower case c. To make lower case a, put
your fingers down at the 1 oclock position below the belt line. Going to the left
and up, make a circle going from 1 oclock up to 12 oclock at the belt line, and
around the clock, touching the foot line at 6 oclock and up to 5 oclock. Now, con-
tinue up in a straight line past 1 oclock and to the belt line, and stop. Without lift-
ing your fingers, go straight down over the line just made, down to the foot line,
and stop.
Capital: To make capital A, put your fingers on the head line in the middle of the
letter space. Make a line slanting to the left down to the foot line on the left side
of the letter space and stop. Pick up your fingers and go back to the starting
place on the head line. Make a line slanting to the right down to the foot line on
the right side of the letter space, and stop. Put your fingers on the first line you
made and a little below the belt line. Make a line going left to right to the second
line you made, and stop.
Vowels and Consonants: Point out to the student that a is a special letter.
When you give the sound for a, you have to open your throat. A letter that opens
your throat is called a vowel. The other letters are called consonants. Make the
sounds for the first 6 letters taught, all consonants: /l/, /t/, /f/, /h/, /b/, /c/.
Have the student notice how tongue, teeth, lips, or throat are involved in making
these sounds. The vowel sound, however, is made without using these. Having a
vowel mixed in with consonants makes it possible for us to say words. Print the
students name without vowels and show how difficult it is to say.
Another tip: The consonants are on white letter cards. The vowels are on pink.
When forming consonant sounds, you dont see the inside of the mouth. When
forming vowel sounds, the mouth opens and you can see the pink inside the
mouth. You can relate this to the pink vowel cards.

Read Aloud to the student The Animal, by Lorna Balian (Abington).
Read aloud Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day,
by Judith Viorst (Atheneum).
___________________________________________________________________
Game: Play the Memory Game. Put letter cards with lower case letters face
down on one side of the table. Put the capital letters on the other side. Take turns
turning a letter over on each side, trying to match lower case and capital letters.
The player with the most matches is the winner.
___________________________________________________________________
Visual Review: Visual review of letters taught to date. (From now on,
visual review will always come before reading.)
___________________________________________________________________
Start Reading Words: After the visual review do the following:
Teacher: (placing the a card down): What does this say?
Student: /a /
Teacher (placing the t card after the a): What does this say?
Student: /t/
Teacher (running finger under the letters): Say these two sounds together.
Student: at
Teacher: You have just read a word. You are sitting at the desk.
The teacher repeats this procedure putting the cards with
b before at for bat, then hhat, then ffat, and ccat.
___________________________________________________________________
Procedure for Decoding Words:
Write these words on 3 x 5 cards (or use cards from the Apple game)
and have the student practice reading them. As more letters are taught, more
words can be added. See the procedure for decoding words on the next page.

Auditory Review: a, t, m, h, r, n (See Reference Chartpage 53.)
Spelling Words: hat, ham, rat, ram, han (nonsense)
___________________________________________________________________
Teach the New Letter: (Trace-Copy-Write)
Lower Case: To make the letter y, put your fingers on the belt line on the
left side of the letter space. Follow the directions for making u. When you get
to the foot line on the right side of the letter space, continue below the foot
line with a fishhook or candy cane curving to the left one letter space,
and stop.
Teaching note: The sound of the letter y is often taught as /yuh/. When this
sound is used in decoding words beginning with y, the word is distorted.
It is preferable to use the sound /e /. This makes y sound like a vowel. Like
w, the y is not a true vowel because it is never followed by a consonant at
the beginning of a word, and is not always the most prominent sound in a
syllable. Y is more like a vowel than a consonant.
Capital: To make capital Y, put your fingers on the head line on the left side
of the letter space. Make a line slanting down to the belt to the middle of the
letter space, and stop. Pick up your fingers and put them on the head line on
the right side of the letter space. Make a line slanting back to the belt line
and to the middle of the letter space, and stop. Without lifting your fingers,
make a straight line down to the foot line, and stop.

Level 2 Short Vowels:
The first few short a stories have words with consonant blends (like flat and grab).
Sequence: a, i, o, u and e. The sound of short e is often confused with short a and short i,
and so it is taught last because it is the most difficult. The digraphs and trigraphs (like sh in ship and tch
in catch) are taught one at a time. Students learn word attack skills, match short vowel sounds, read and spell
short vowel words. They learn the name, formation, and sound of each vowel and the following digraphs,
trigraph: ck=/k/, sh, th, ch=/ch/, tch=/ch/, ink, ank, ong, kn, ung, onk, unk, wh.
Words include consonant blends. Lessons include quotations, exclamation marks, possessive (s),
compound word, ss, ll, statement and question, suffixes: s, ing, ang, ed, er,
two syllable word (closed syllable), contractions with is, hyphenated words,
double ff, possessive (s), 1-1-1 rule, abbreviations, contractions (nt).
By the time Level 2 work is completed, the students will know the name,
formation, and sound of each letter, digraph, and trigraph. They will be
reading stories and spelling words with these sounds.

Digraph: Teach the digraph ck, sock, /k/. (Refer to the Key Word Chart.)
It will come after one short vowel. Explain that digraphs are two consonants
that have a unique sound, not the individual sound of the separate letters.
Use the yellow card with c, k, ck (multiple spellings of /k/)
for auditory review:
Teacher: What says /k/?
Student: c, cake /k/. . . k, kite /k/ . . . ck, sock, /k/
Each letter is written on the work surface as it is named.

Vowel sounds
open the throat.
They are made with
no obstruction of the lips,
teeth, or tongue.
They are underlined in red
on the Key Word Chart.
_______________
Consonants
are letters that are not vowels.
_______________
Special Letters
are y and w. The sounds for
these letters are made with
no obstructionbut they are not
pure vowels. A vowel is the most
prominent sound in a syllable.
This characteristic is never
fulfilled by w, and only
sometimes by y.

Step 1 Auditory Review:
The sounds /a /, /h/, /t/, /f/, /c/, /s/
Hold the letter card so the student doesnt see it.
Teacher: What says /a /?
Student: a, apple, /a /
The teacher then shows the card.
Step 3 Visual Review:
The teacher shows the letter cards one
at a time, reviewing the letters taught to date.
Student: f, fish, /f/
writing the letter on the work surface
as she names it
Step 4 Teach the Digraph ck:
As you refer to the Key Word Chart, teach that ck will come
after one short vowel. Explain that digraphs are two consonants
that have a unique sound, not the individual sound of the sepa-
rate letters. Use the marker to add ck to the yellow card with c
and k (from Level 1 instruction).
Teacher: What says /k/?
Student: c, cake, /k/....k, kite, /k/....ck, sock, /k/
Each letter is written on the work surface as it is named.
Step 2 Spelling and Handwriting:
jam, pat, mad, grab...
Teacher: jam using word in sentence, then repeating word
Student: jam, /a /, a
writing the letter in the air or on the work surface as she names it
Teacher says: Repeat the word. jam What do you hear (that opens
your throat)? /a / How do you spell it? a while forming it in the air.
Student then writes the word on primary paper, as she says the sounds of the
letters softly. If she falters, the teacher asks, What do you hear first? ...last?
After spelling it, the student reads the word.

Step 7 Teach Red Flag Words:
Write each non-decodable word (appearing
under the title of each story) on a 3 x 5 white
index card. Tell the student what the word is
and have her repeat it.
Step 8 Oral Reading & Teaching the Stories:
The student reads aloudPams Black Jam and Dans Cab, and
Jacks Cap (supplement story). All the preceding steps in this lesson
have prepared the student for having a successful reading experience.
Teaching the Stories questions provided include grammar, punctuation,
making predictions, making inferences, sequencing events, creative
writing, and activities for teaching across the curriculum.
Each story has a highly controlled vocabulary.

Play Grab Bag:
If the student needs many repetitions
to learn the words, place the cards
in a grab bag. Players draw cards
in turn and earn points. Points are
based on the number of letters
in a word. If playing with a
teacher, the student reads all
the words. OPTION: Use a
generic board and move the
number of spaces as letters in the word.

Level 3 Long Vowels:
Lessons begin with the vowel-consonant-e patterns: (a-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, e-e).
Next come the vowel pairs: ee, ie, oe, ue, ea, oa, ai, ay. A yellow card is started for each sound. As more les-
sons are taught, additional ways to spell that sound will be added and put on the yellow card. The student gradually
learns what his choices are. There will be continual recycling of grammar rules taught previously. New spelling rules
will be taught, as well as beginning rules for decoding two-syllable words.
Level 3 Skills: Able to distinguish short vowel words from long vowel words, apply word attack skills, match long vowel
sounds, silent e rule, contractions with are (re), 2-syllable word (open syllable), c(e, i, y) = /s/, ph=/f/, g(e) =/j/, contractions
with will (ll), write basic sentences correctly: identify, correct sentence fragments with missing subjects, use present tense to
indicate current action, write declarative sentences, use period to end declarative sentence, capitalize proper nouns: name of
people, the pronoun I, geographic names, use commas with salutations of letter, use plural and singular forms of pronouns,
match personal pronouns to person, (he/she, it, they, etc.), summarize stories: identify main idea of story (uncued), make infer-
ences about Level 3 stories: infer (unstated) character emotions from story elements, describe character attribute, draw conclu-
sions from reading: comprehends action not directly described, analyze character motivation, use context clues to compre-
hend new words, comprehend literal meaning of level 3 stories: comprehend sequence of events, identify events in a story,
identify characters in story and story detail, evaluate story elements: predict what character may say or do next write a very
short story: sentences follow in sequence, story sticks to subject Tools: 9 lessons, 1 Worbook, Sue and Joes Pies book (64
pages), Noses and Roses (64 pages), songs, 10 phonics games

Teacher: What says /a /?
Student: a, apple, /a /
writing the letter with fingertips on the work surface as she names it
Teacher shows the letter card.
This procedure is repeated for each letter.
Spelling: For spelling, use some or all from the list provided, or use words
from the Words Lists book.

sug (nonsense), shrug, jump, dump, lump, fun, mun (nonsense), sun, run,
running, swim, swam, sash, lash, splash, hen, when, hip, whip;
red flag words: want, one, were
Teacher: hot (Use it in a sentence, then repeat the word.)
Student: hot /o /, o
writing the letter in the air as she names it
Student writes the letter a on primary paper. On the next line she writes
the spelling word, and reads it aloud hot. When writing the spelling word,
the student should segment it, saying each sound in a whisper as she writes
the letter for that sound. Whisper: /h/-/o /-/t/ Student reads the word.
This procedure is repeated for each word.
___________________________________________________________________
Visual Review: Use letter cards for vowels, digraphs, and trigraphs taught
to date. As phonograms are taught, add them to the visual review. Example:
Teacher shows the card with the letter u.
Student: u, umbrella, /u /
writing the letter with fingertips on the work surface as she names it
___________________________________________________________________
Phonogram: Teach the phonogram ae, rake, /a /.
On the Key Word Chart, remove the Post-it note from ae.
Explain that in this case the dash () stands for consonant.
Teacher: In words ending in aconsonante, the e is almost always silent.
It changes the sound of a from the short sound /a / to the long sound /a /.
Different consonants can be used. Examples: cancane, taptape, matmate.
Have the student use her fingertips to practice writing ae on the work
surface. She will say aconsonante (as she writes), then rake, /a /.

NOTE:
Explain that the SOUNDS of
the letters are what we use in
reading. We cannot write sounds,
only speak and hear them.
We write the letters that represent
the sounds. Therefore, formation
of the letter must be completed
before the sound is given.

Game: (ae decoding practice)
Play Snake Snack card game.
For words ending in /k/, remind the student of the rules:
words with one vowel are followed by ck (rack) and those
words with vowel-consonant-e will have just the k (rake).
With game cards that are appropriate, have the student use the
word in a sentence. Do word play by asking, What does this word mean
to you? Then ask, What other meanings does it have? Discuss these as
you use each of them in sentence.

Introduce the silent e rule. For a word
ending with silent e, drop the silent e
before adding a suffix that begins with
a vowel (bakebaking). Draw attention
to this on the Prefix and Suffix Chart.
Workbook page 7crossword puzzle
(Use all capital letters.)
__________________________________

Review the 1-1-1 rule:
Many one syllable words end with 1 vowel and 1 consonant
(tap). To add a suffix that begins with a vowel, double the
final consonant (the third 1).
Example: taptapping, fatfatterfatty
This rule works for all suffixes that begin with a vowel.
They are: able, er, ed, est, ing, y
This rule applies to multi-syllable words (upset), where
the final syllable is accented. Example: upsetupsetting
Reminder:
A contraction is a way to
shorten a word by taking out
a letter (or letters) and replacing
it with an apostrophe.

Note: This story also has contractions with are. Examples: we arewere,
they aretheyre.
There are several two-syllable words in this story. Explain that if there are
two consonants in the middle of the word, the word is divided between the
consonants and you have a closed syllable (rob/ber, un/der, din/ner). The
vowel has the short sound. If a vowel comes at the end of a syllable, it is an
open syllable, and the vowel has the long sound (ra/ven, ro/bot).

___________________________________________________________________
Creative Telling or Writing:
Teacher: Have you ever been scared by a sound or something you saw, only
to find it was nothing at all? Tell a story about it. Tell when it happened,
where you were, what you heard, and how you felt. Tell how you discovered
it was nothing to worry about.
Some students will be capable of writing their thoughts down. They can start
a personal dictionary. See page 22 for more helpful ideas.
NOTE:
The student can ask for the
spelling of a word. However,
if that word has a phonogram
that has already been taught,
encourage her to spell it on
her own.

Mom had fun on fishing trips,
but she was not going on this one.
Her club had planned a bake sale.
She had to bake cakes and help
at the sale.

Mom made cakes all day.
She was glad to get to bed.
She was just nodding off
when there was a tapping
on the pane. Was it a robber?
She began to shake.
She had to be brave.
Mom lifted the shade a bit.
There was not a thing there,
so she went back to bed.
There was a lot of wind.
Mom got under the blankets
and nodded off, but not for long.
There it was, the tapping
on the pane. She jumped up
and lifted the shade a bit.

Oh my! Mom had to grin.
It was just a shrub with long
branches. The branches waved
in the wind. They were hitting
the pane of glass. Mom went
back to bed, still grinning.

Mom spent the next day
at the bake sale. She got back
at six, just as Kate and Dad
came in. They had a lot of fish.
They all helped to fix
a grand fish dinner.

Mom had saved a cake
from the bake sale.
Kate and Dad smacked their lips.
Kate held up her plate.

Not yet, said Mom.
Then she began to tell the tale
of her scare with the tapping
branch. They all had to grin.
No cake until you trim
the long branches on that
big shrub, she said.
Did they do the job fast?
What do you think?

Why do birds sing?
We use words to talk. Birds use
songs. They may be singing,
This is my place. The male
may sing to a female, Say,
pretty bird, will you be my wife?
A bird may call to another bird,
Take care! Theres a kitty
under your tree
spying on you.
Sometimes birds sing
for the fun of it,
just like we do.

Why?

Why does a spider
spin a web?
The spider spins a web so it can
catch a fly. The web is sticky.
When a fly gets stuck on it,
the spider grabs it and eats it.
The spider has a slippery body
that keeps it from sticking
to its own web.
