Pulling Together Reading Series Book 4

Book 4: Shining with _____: Pulling Together: A Phonics Reading Team

Decodable Phonics Lessons with a Beautiful Mare

Your child can read the letter teams found in everyday books. Now it’s time for the tricky spellings that trip up even strong readers.

Book 4 takes readers from letter teams to the spellings that don’t play by the rules: silent letters, augh and ough, ie and ei (with the “i before e” rhyme and its exceptions), compound words. It also teaches 28 heart words, the tricky everyday words kids learn by heart.

What’s inside

• 43 step-by-step lessons, with the same steps every day so your child knows what’s coming
• A short story in every lesson, written by the author, plus [three] Talk About It questions, including a “think deeper” question that builds comprehension
• Word ladders, sentence triangles, Sound Sort games and letter-tile spelling
• Checkpoints, so you know when to move on
• Large 24-point print throughout, stories included, so the bigger words stay easy on the eyes
• Clear parent notes on every page; no teaching experience needed

The Secret on the Farm

A shaggy black-and-white mare with flowing feathered feet loves people, loves attention, and has plenty to say about everything. Her name is hidden under the ribbon on the cover, and your child earns every sound they need, lesson by lesson, until they read it aloud on their own.

Who it’s for

Beginning readers of any age who have finished Book 3 or can read letter teams like ai, oa, igh and ou: homeschool families, parents teaching at home, children with dyslexia, and tutors. Not sure where to start? The free placement readers on our site show you which book fits your child.
