I am finishing up this series of worksheet packets that all focus on CVC and CVCe words. If you are not familiar, those are words that follow a particular pattern: consonant-vowel-consonant AND consonant-vowel-consonant-silent E In this packet, all of the words focus on the sounds of short u and long u.

My 6 year old and I are still plugging along with learning to read during the summer, albeit at a slower pace. We all like the more relaxed days that summer brings! He is still practicing quite a bit with CVC and CVCe words, so it is time to break out a few new activities …
My Kindergartner is just starting with learning to read long vowels, specifically CVCe words. Learning to read doesn’t come very easily to him, so we stay on the slow-and-steady track. Even during the summer, we will read most every day and do a few short and simple phonics activities. This week, he is going to …
My Kindergartner and I are working hard on mastering CVC words, and I am happy to say that I am starting to see slight improvements in his ability to read his CVC readers. He has been a child that has had a slower start to reading. And that is just fine. He is moving along …

Color by number and color by code worksheets are such a nice change of pace from traditional worksheets.

I left the original content and pictures of the beginning of this post intact: My girls …
Here in North Carolina, we seem to be taking a break from winter, as our high temperatures have been 65-70 the past few days! North Carolina is like that, however. One week it is 70 degrees, and the next week our pipes are trying to freeze. Go figure. If it still feels like winter in …
My 5 year old is a very beginning reader. He’s still working on nailing down all of the letter sounds and I noticed that he also needs some work with rhyming. Two of my three girls were later readers and one glaring similarity with both of them was their inability to rhyme well (or at all). …
Beginning readers need intense phonics practice in a variety of methods. In my experience, young readers cannot get too much phonics instruction, and I say that as a homeschool mom with a variety of types of learners.
