Inside the download

This page includes short a and short i words, long a and long e words, and words beginning with bl-, st-, and fr-. Students sort the listed words and choose four for sentence practice.

Read the words together first if helpful. You can use the printed lists, write words on separate cards, or work with one sound pattern at a time.
