Choose your paper size

The ZIP includes the same 88-page book in US Letter and A4 PDFs. Choose one paper-size edition; the two files do not double the amount of different content. Open the ZIP, read the adult notes and print a test page on the matching paper before selecting more pages. Follow the book’s own printing and materials guidance. No physical book, toy, paper or printing service is included.

A comfortable starting point

For adults teaching approximately ages 4–7. Select by prerequisite, access, language familiarity and interest. Later two-feature tasks are optional; decoding uses already-taught correspondences.

Questions before you print

What do I receive?

Two PDFs containing the same 88-page educator book in US Letter and A4. The 18 four-page lessons occupy 72 pages; six opening and ten closing support pages complete the book. No physical materials are included.

Are these complete lessons or blank plans?

Each lesson includes preparation and explicit adult modelling, guided practice, a fictional misconception case with a teaching response, a learner task, expected responses, a fresh exit invitation and a revisit plan. These are taught lesson examples, not blank template pages.

Are the learner task pages additional files?

No. Eighteen whole-page learner tasks are included within the 88-page book and indexed on the contents page. They are not extra pages or separate activity files.

What age and readiness does it suit?

It is written for adults teaching approximately ages 4–7. Select by readiness and access rather than treating all lessons as required milestones. The decoding lesson requires its specified sound correspondences to have been taught. Later two-feature tasks are optional.

How should I print and prepare?

Choose the matching paper size and print portrait at actual size / 100%. Black-and-white printing is suitable; test small marks and gaps first. Keep pages intact. No cutting or small loose counters are required. Adults check any optional real materials.

Is it a complete curriculum or assessment tool?

No. It is a set of original teaching examples, not a complete curriculum, certification or diagnostic assessment. Cases are fictional. Permission covers one household or one educator’s own classroom; no redistribution, resale or school-wide sharing.
