CVC Decodable Mini Books

Children cut on the dashed line, fold and cut the red slit, then read the book to a partner or a grown-up. Send them home as take-home readers.

Four pages after the cover, each one a mini book to cut, fold and read: Max and the Tan Hat (short a), Pig Can Dig (short i), Dot the Dog (short o) and Gus and Ted (short u and e).

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 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.

A decodable reader is a short book where almost every word uses letter sounds the child has already learned, so they can sound out the whole story instead of guessing from pictures.

Short vowel CVC words: one book each for short a, e, i, o and u, and three books that mix two short vowels.

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.

Heart words are common words like the, a and is that cannot be sounded out yet, so children learn them by heart. Each cover lists the two or three heart words in the story.
