Foreword Reading with phonics is a series of three books designed to develop students’ phonemic awareness through a text with related worksheets. This allows the students to practise the sound being taught while reading and comprehending text. Each sound has two stories based around the same theme so the teacher can cater for individual ability levels within the classroom. The word cards at the end of each treated sound help to consolidate the students’ knowledge of the sounds. They can be used to introduce or consolidate teaching and learning.
The books in this series are:

Teachers notes Phonics is a large component of a student’s reading development and often it is taught in isolation rather than within a text. In this series of phonic books, the student develops his/her phonemic awareness within the structure of a text and its supporting worksheets. Each grapheme is treated within a story so the student can associate the sound with a word and develop strategies for word identification and comprehension. The stories are accompanied by relevant worksheets that consolidate the sound being treated.
r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S
The teacher has a choice of texts and worksheets to use with the grapheme being covered. This enables different levels of ability to be catered for within the classroom.
ew i ev Pr
Teac he r
In Books 1 and 2, the sounds are covered individually. In Book 3, different graphemes that represent the same sound families are treated. The books all follow the same format: two sets of stories based around the sound, followed by corresponding worksheets. The word cards can be used for sight vocabulary, home reading, spelling words, word sorts, making sentences or reading with a partner. The text offers the teacher two choices: a simple story or a more complex story. The teacher can choose which is more appropriate for the level of the student.

A note on the pronunciation of some digraphs
Although some digraphs can be used to represent slightly different sounds, they have not been differentiated in this book. Teachers should explain to their students that there can be an additional pronunciation with these letters in certain words. These words have been included because they are beneficial to students’ understanding of their spelling. For example, the digraphs u-e, ue and ew can produce an ‘oo’ sound (as in flute, glue and screw). Although the keywords used for these digraphs concentrate on this sound, words such as cube, new and stew, which have a ‘yoo’ sound, have also been included. The same is true for the digraph er. While the keyword used for the digraph concentrates on the ‘er’ sound (as in germ and pert), pronunciation of er when the digraph is at the end of a word can create an ‘uh’ sound (as in summer, dinner and older). For this book, where worksheet instructions refer to a digraph (for example, ue), this indicates that students should only concentrate on the words which contain the relevant digraph sound when pronounced. iv

Lee was a little girl who liked to garden. She planted different seeds deep in the ground. She knew she needed to care for them. Each day she watered the seeds and pulled out any weeds. Lee often had to sweep up the leaves that had blown off the trees near her garden. Soon the seeds started to grow green shoots. Lee’s mum said she needed to feed them to help them grow. She had to kneel on the ground and pick off any snails and beetles that might eat her plants. Sometimes she would see bees buzzing around. Lee was careful not to touch the bees. After a while Lee’s plants were very big and had lots of green leaves. Some plants had beans on them. These green beans were long and ready to pick. Lee tasted one and it was nice and sweet. Mum was going to make a bean dish to feed the family. It didn’t seem like very long ago that the plants had just been seeds. Lee was going to plant some more seeds in her garden on the weekend.

Chip sat on his chair and watched for the children to come to his cage.
Chip chose the cheese first. It was very chewy, and when he had finished the cheese, he filled his cheeks with the cherries. They were juicy and they dribbled down his chin. One day, the zookeeper came and put up a sign. It said:

Poor Chip! His eating habits had to change. His tummy was getting a bit ‘chunky’, and when he pinched his tummy, he did have a roll of fat.

o c . c e he r He was going to watch what he ate. o t r s super When children tried to give him treats, Chip would point to the sign and his tummy. The people thought that was funny. The zookeeper gave him lots of crunchy vegetables to eat, and soon Chip was fit and trim. Now Chip always makes sure he only eats crunchy, chewy vegetables. Well, almost always! 52

Last Saturday I tripped over the broom. My loose tooth fell out. I looked silly and got in a bad mood. I felt like staying in my room. Dad said, ‘Let’s go into the shed’. He said he would help me make a toolbox. I love making things with my dad. I wear boots and glasses to keep safe. We made the box. We made sure it was smooth and had room for all my tools. Then Dad went to fix the loose tiles on the roof. I stayed in the shed and made a rocket out of the leftover wood. I pretended to fly to the moon, zoom, zoom! When I had finished, I put my tools in my new toolbox and went inside. Mum had made my favourite food. Jelly! Yum, yum! I let Dad have some, too! Jelly on my spoon, wibble wobble, wibble wobble, jelly on my spoon. I wasn’t in a bad mood anymore.

I lost three teeth on Thursday. Both of my front teeth were very wobbly. At school, I was running on the path. I tripped on my thongs and fell. I bumped my mouth and my two front teeth fell out. My teacher put them in a cloth for me. When I got home, Mum put them in a glass. She said not to drink from that glass when I was thirsty. Mum didn’t want me swallowing my teeth! Then I went outside. I was throwing my ball when it hit me in my mouth. Another tooth came out! That night in my frothy bath, Mum told me to be careful. She didn’t want me to lose another tooth.

I like to potter in the garden. I am very careful just in case a bug or beetle tries to sting me. I always stay away from bees. They have a nasty sting. My friend is allergic to bees and when she got stung her arm, hand and fingers started to tingle. They were so swollen she had to go to the doctor. He told her to wear a sling for two days, and she couldn’t pick anything up. In spring I like to go to the park and have picnics, too. There are lots of swings at our park. Last week some men put up a new swing set. It has lots of different things on it. There are some rings to hang onto as you swing from one side to the other, a flying fox, a slide and some monkey bars, all at different levels. Mum says it has something for everyone.

Yesterday, I found a bird on the ground. It looked like he had hurt his wing. I didn’t know what to do. When I picked up the bird, it tried to bite my fingers. I took the bird home and gave my brother a ring. He is a vet. He told me to bring it to him and he would have a look. My brother kept the bird and looked after him until he was stronger, then I took him back to the park and let him go.

‘Quick, come with me right now, we’ve lost our brown and white cow. Dad has just gone into town and I want to find her before he gets back. We have to check the dam. An animal could drown if it fell in the dam.’

The cow was not there so we went down the track to look in the brown shed. The brown shed had the pigs in it. A sow had just had piglets. They were pink and very little. They were sitting in the brown mud, and next to the piglets was the lost cow.

‘How did the cow get down here?’ Tom said. We put the cow back in the paddock and then we had to have a shower. We were covered in brown mud. We looked like clowns. Tom gave me a towel and some clean clothes. We had to take care not to use too much water. The water level in the water tower was down this year.

We played until it was night and the owls started hooting and the dogs started howling for their dinner. That night we watched a movie about a king losing his crown. Tom’s dad was very happy that the cow was safe and sound. He was going to check to see if any fences were down in the morning. I always enjoy going to the farm! R.I.C.

Near the river she saw a man fishing. He was putting some bait on a line. Mum and Gail saw some people sailing on the river. Their boat had two sails. One was the main sail and the other one was much smaller. The sailors pulled ropes to move the sails so the wind could blow them along. The train went along the railway line.
They saw a man painting a tall building. He was on a platform way up high. He had a chain around his tummy to stop him from falling. He had his paint pail next to him. Gail wondered if he was afraid. Did the pail have a chain around it, too? It wouldn’t be very funny if all the paint fell on the people below. Time went quickly and soon the train was back at the station.

Lee was a little girl who liked to garden.
She planted different seeds deep in the ground. She knew she needed to care for them. Each day she watered the seeds and pulled out any weeds. Lee often had to sweep up the leaves that had blown off the trees near her garden. Soon the seeds started to grow green shoots. Lee’s mum said she needed to feed them to help them grow. She had to kneel on the ground and pick off any snails and beetles that might eat her plants. Sometimes she would see bees buzzing around. Lee was careful not to touch the bees. After a while Lee’s plants were very big and had lots of green leaves. Some plants had beans on them. These green beans were long and ready to pick. Lee tasted one and it was nice and sweet. Mum was going to make a bean dish to feed the family.

My sister likes the book called ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. Little Red Riding Hood has to visit her grandma on foot and take her some goodies that her mother has made from her cookbook. There is a wolf who lives in the woods, in the book. It is a fairytale and it is a good book. I like to look at dinosaur books. I look at the pictures of the dinosaurs eating or drinking at the brooks. The Tyrannosaurus rex stood on two legs, and the Diplodocus walked on four legs.
I know a lot about dinosaurs.
I imagine what it would be like if dinosaurs were alive today. I wonder if the Earth shook when they walked.

He told her to wear a sling for two days, and she couldn’t pick anything up.

ANSWERS In spring I like to go to the park and have picnics, too. There are lots of swings at our park. Last week some men put up a new swing set. It has lots of different things on it. There are some rings to hang onto as you swing from one side to the other, a flying fox, a slide and some monkey bars, all at different levels. Mum says it has something for everyone. Yesterday I found a bird on the ground. It looked like he had hurt his wing. I didn’t know what to do. When I picked up the bird, he tried to bite my fingers. I took the bird home and gave my brother a ring. He is a vet. He told me to bring it to him and he would have a look.
1. The wh words in the story are bold. Howard was a little boy who could not walk. He had a wheelchair. One day, his dad had to fix one of the wheels on his wheelchair. When he was at school he had gone over a bump and now his wheel was wobbly.
r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S
My brother kept the bird and looked after him until he was stronger, then I took him back to the park and let him go.
I love spring!
Springtime – 6 ................................................................ Page 97
Answers to questions may include 1. The writer loves spring. 2. In spring the sun shines, the birds sing and the flowers bloom.
While his dad fixed the wheel, Howard sat on a chair. His dad liked to fix things and he whistled while he worked. Howard’s cat, Whisky, jumped onto his lap. He was called Whisky because he had long whiskers. Howard read a book about whales while he waited. The book showed the oceans of the world and where different kinds of whales lived.

It was where he belonged. It would be wrong to keep the bird in a cage. The bird was happy to be back in the park. He was walking along the ground and flying around the trees. I’m sure he dipped his wing as he flew. I think he was saying ‘Thank you’.

1. All the ow words in the story are bold.
Howard was a little boy who could not walk. He used a wheelchair to move around.
My friend, Tom, lives on a farm.
One day, his dad had to fix one of the wheels on the wheelchair. It had become wobbly after he went over a bump in the path at school. Howard had to be lifted out and sat on a chair while his dad fixed the wheel. Dad liked to fix things and he whistled while he worked.
When I got there, Tom came running out with a frown on his face.
I went to visit one day.
‘Help me look for our missing cow’, he said.
r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S
Howard’s pet cat, Whisky, climbed onto Howard’s knee and rubbed his face. His whiskers tickled Howard. He was called Whisky because he had long whiskers.
Teac he r
While Dad planted some white flowers for Mum and some wheat for the chickens, Howard read his book about whales. It was called ‘What do you know about whales?’ and it showed where different whales lived. Last year for his birthday, Howard went on a whale watching boat to see the whales in their natural habitat. Howard said that when he grows up, he wants to study marine life, especially whales. His dad said he could do whatever he wanted because it didn’t matter if he was in a wheelchair. If he worked hard and persisted, he could be the best whale expert in the world.
The cow was not in the dam. We checked the brown shed that had pigs in it. The sow had just had piglets. They were in the brown mud, and so was the missing cow! We wondered how the cow got there. We put the cow back in the paddock. We were covered in brown mud, so went to have a shower. We had to be quick to save water because the water level in the water tower was down. Tom gave me a towel and some clean clothes, then we went out to play.
ew i ev Pr
When the wheelchair was fixed, Dad took Howard into the garden. Dad got his wheelbarrow and put his tools in it. He put Howard on top and gave him a ride in his wheelbarrow. It was fun.
‘We need to check the dam. Sometimes an animal falls in and drowns.’
We played until the owls started hooting and the dogs started howling for their dinner. 2. Teacher check

We put the cow back in the paddock and then we had to have a shower. We were covered in brown mud. We looked like clowns. Tom gave me a towel and some clean clothes. We had to take care not to use too much water. The water level in the water tower was down this year. ‘Now we can play!’ said Tom.

Bart and Mark lived in the country. One day, they went to the park with their dad and Marty the dog. They could walk to the park because it wasn’t far away, but today Dad had to do some shopping at the market, so they were taking the car. They all climbed into the car and set off. They had to go past Farmer Star’s farm. His cat had just had kittens in the barn. He had a large bull, too. He was giving it some hay near the gate and he waved as they drove by. They played in the park and had lots of fun while Dad went to the market. Bart was practising his pitching for baseball and Mark was trying hard to catch them. Bart had to stop because he was getting a sore arm. When Dad came back it was starting to get dark. Dad put all the shopping in the boot and told everyone to get in the car. Oh, no! The car would not start. Ar, ar, ar, ar, ar, it went. Dad said he would call the caryard and they could come and take it to the garage to fix. Reading with phonics
