The number of high frequency words or irregular words in each text is limited. Plus, each lesson plan lists out all the high frequency words / irregular words covered in the text, so you can pre-teach any words that students do not already know. Will this cover all my phonics instruction for vowel teams?No. These decodable books are meant to supplement a phonics program, not replace one. You will still need explicit, systematic phonics lessons to teach vowel teams. If you need a complete program, check out From Sounds to Spelling (available off TpT). Are these decodable books the same ones in your phonics program, From Sounds to Spelling?No - they are different! They will work nicely with the program if you find yourself needing more decodable readers for practicing vowel teams. For the complete bundle of 1st grade decodable texts, click HERE!
