Jump in the Pond: Ending Blends Decodable Reader

Practice the heart words on the cover first, since they cannot be sounded out yet. Read the book together, pointing under each word, then let the child read it again on their own and color the pictures. Finish with the Read and Find page, and staple the pages into a little book to read at home.

8 pages: a cover and 7 printable pages. Page 1: Jen and Max went to the pond. Page 2: Jen can jump in the sand. Page 3: Max can jump on a big stump. Page 4: A frog sat on a log at the pond. Page 5: The frog can jump best! Page 6: Jump, frog, jump! Jen and Max clap. Read and Find: read jump, pond, went, sand, best, stump, and and frog, then circle the story word in four rows.

Yes. We made it for 1st Grade decodable readers, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

Digraphs sh, ch, th, ck and ng, l, r, s and ending blends, long a, i, o and u with silent e, and the vowel teams ee and ea, ai and ay, and oa and ow.

Each book has 8 pages: a cover with the sound and the heart words, six story pages with one or two sentences and a picture to color, and a Read and Find page.

Follow your phonics lessons: digraphs first, then blends, silent e and vowel teams. Read each book several times before moving on, so the pattern becomes automatic.

Print the pages, have the child color the pictures, and staple them together in order behind the cover.
