CVC Word Families Decodable Reader
51 pages that take children from single CVC words to full sentences, one word family at a time.
How it works
Each word family opens with a reference page grouping every word in that family, so children can see the pattern before they start reading.
Sentences that build in three steps
From there, each family's sentences build in difficulty — starting with a simple repeating pattern, then short phrases, then combining two target words in one sentence.
What is the CVC Word Families Decodable Reader?
The CVC Word Families Decodable Reader is a print-and-read booklet that groups CVC words by word family — ig, id, it, ix, ip, ib, in, im, ill and more — then builds up from single words to full sentences children can read independently.
Target sounds are highlighted in red throughout, so children can always see exactly which sound they're decoding as the sentences get longer.
A certificate for every word family
Each word family finishes with a printable Certificate of Completion — a nice moment to celebrate finishing that section and a motivating milestone for young readers working through the whole booklet.
Why teachers use it

- Includes a printable Certificate of Completion for every word family, to mark the milestone.
