i before e, Sometimes! Booklet
Description:
“I before e, except after c” works some of the time. This booklet teaches ie and ei one at a time, shows when the rhyme works, and gives a whole lesson to the words that break it.
What's inside:
- 8 short lessons: ie as long e (two lessons), ie as long e or long i, ei after c, ei as long a, ie or ei?, words that break the rhyme, then a mixed review
- The same steps as the Pulling Together books, so the lessons feel familiar
- 8 stories about life on our Colorado farm, featuring the animals from the series
- A sort game for telling the patterns apart
- A one-page Roll and Read check at the end, with "Still tricky?" pointers back to the right lesson
- A parent guide and contents page
Who it's for: Children who have finished Book 4 of Pulling Together, or any reader who needs extra practice with this pattern. It works well for parents, tutors and teachers. It uses the dyslexia-friendly design of the main books: clear print and extra spacing, in the same plain book-style print as the later books.
Format: PDF download, 59 pages, US Letter. Print one lesson at a time at home. (Many local libraries offer free or low-cost printing.)
For use with the children in one family, or by one tutor with their own students. Classroom licenses are available separately.
