Great Books for Small Group Instruction

These books are excellent practice for VCe. They are well written in a story format and have words that fit the focus phonics pattern. My students loved these books. They are easy for students to practice monitoring words for silent e as they are learning this new phonics pattern.

Best decodables in my classroom1

These decodables are the best! Hands down, they are my "go to" decodables. I teach special education reading all day long, and I use them every day. Other teachers come into my room to borrow them. We all love them. They're engaging, and the pictures are relatable to kids. Just the right amount of words/sentences on each page help kids feel confident and successful. Worth every penny ten times over!

Great introduction to long vowels

The scope and sequence for stage 4 of the Charge into Reading Decodable Reading System: Long Vowel VCE

Don't just memorize words. Learn to read them!

  • Rather than focusing on all sounds within a stage of reading together, the Charge into Reading Decodable reading system breaks each of the sounds taught at each stage of reading into individual books.
  • Not 5 mixed Long Vowel VCE Books, but rather a book focused on Long A VCE, Long E VCE, and so on.
Download Scope and Sequence

Stage 4: Long Vowel VCE

The Charge into Reading Long Vowel VCE Decodable Reader Set is stage 4 of Charge into Reading’s structured system of decodable readers.

Building on the short vowel sounds, consonant blends, and digraphs introduced in Stages 1, 2, and 3, each volume in this 5-book set focuses different long vowel VCE sound. Repetition of these sounds throughout the book helps new readers gain confidence and mastery over Long Vowel VCE words before moving on to more complicated spelling patterns.

Each Long Vowel VCE Decodable Reader also contains 8 pages of vowel-specific literacy activities meant to further strengthen a reader’s comprehension of the reading skill presented in the book.
