#5 The Thing on the Wing Can Sing: A Short Vowel Sounds Book with Consonant Digraphs book cover
Dear Parents and Educators As a former adult literacy coach and the father of three children I know that learning to read isn't always easy That's why I developed Sounds Like Reading® a series that uses a combination of devices to help children learn to read This book is the fifth in the Sounds Like Reading series It uses rhyme repetition illustration and phonics to introduce young readers to short vowel sounds and consonant digraphs letter combinations that come together to create a new sound These include combinations such as ch sh and th I've chosen to use a broad inclusive definition of digraphs in this book so you'll also see combinations such as kn ng and ck Starting on page 4 you'll see three rhyming words on each left hand page These words are part of the sentence on the facing page They all feature short vowels and consonant digraphs As the book progresses the sentences become more challenging These sentences contain a discovery word an extra rhyming word in addition to those that appear on the left Toward the end of the book the sentences contain two discovery words Children will delight in the increased confidence that finding and decoding these words will bring They'll also enjoy looking for the mouse that appears throughout the book The mouse asks readers to look for words that sound alike The bridge to literacy is one of the most important we will ever cross It is my hope that the Sounds Like Reading series will help young readers to hop gallop and skip from Look for me one side to the other to help you find the words that Sincerely sound alike hun P Cle Brian P Cleary
