Introduction
T his book features 50 engaging cloze-format stories that provide the repeated
practice children need to master essential phonics skills, including sound-
spelling relationships and structural analysis. For each story, children use a word
bank along with text and picture clues to fill in missing words. Each story offers
opportunities for reading decodable words in context, letting young readers
apply their growing knowledge of sound-spelling relationships and word parts
to new words, while improving fluency and comprehension. A word search
provides further practice in reading and spelling all target words.
What the Research Says
P honics knowledge has a positive effect on a reader’s ability to decode words

and is a reliable predictor of later skill in reading comprehension. “Skilled
readers recognize the majority of words they encounter in text quickly and
accurately, independently of context.” (Cunningham, 1975–76; Stanovich, 1984;
as cited in Phonics From A to Z by Wiley Blevins; Scholastic, 2006)

Resources.
Phonics Skill: The heading at the top of each story 55
page identifies the target phonics skill.

Fill-In Story: A cloze format invites children to fill in words to complete each
story. Stories are carefully structured to meet the needs of early readers.
Word Bank: This list provides students with all the word choices they need to
complete the story.
Illustration: An illustration accompanies each story, and supports early readers
in understanding the text.
Word Search: This puzzle invites children to locate the target story words,
reinforcing word recognition skills and building vocabulary.

Teaching With the Stories
E ach story page focuses on one of the following areas: consonants

and vowels (short and long), r-controlled vowels, variant vowels and
diphthongs, consonant blends and digraphs, plurals, inflected endings, and
contractions. You can use the stories in any order that best supports your
goals for whole-class, small-group, and individual instruction. Model for
children how to complete a page before having them do so on their own.
1. Display a story page so all children can see it (for example, by using an
overhead).
2. Read the directions aloud, and then direct children’s attention to the Teaching
Word Bank. Point to each word in order as you read it. Think aloud Tip
about how words are similar—for example, pointing out those with
the same vowel sound.
After modeling
3. Direct children’s attention to the title of the story. Read aloud the title, again how to use a story
noticing words that are similar in some way. You might take a moment to page, you might
notice the illustration, and think aloud about what the story might be about. invite students
to take turns at
4. As you read the story, model concepts of print, including where to begin, the overhead,
going from left to right, and the return sweep to the next line. Pause at each modeling for you

can read past the blank to the word bath, and ask themselves, “Where do
people take a bath? What word makes sense here?” This can help them
recognize that tub is the word that best completes the sentence. Write in the
word, and continue. (As another strategy, you might show children how to
lightly draw a line through each word in the Word Bank as they use it.)
5. When you have filled in all of the blanks, read the story, modeling
characteristics of fluency, such as using appropriate expression and pausing
at punctuation.
6. Complete the Word Search, showing children how to look across, down, and
diagonally—but not backward—for the words in the Word Bank. Place a
check next to each word as you find it. Once you find all of the words, read
them aloud.

Connections to the
Language Arts Standards

you in meeting the following standards as outlined by Mid-continent
Research for Education and Learning (McREL), an organization that collects and
synthesizes national and state curriculum standards—and proposes what teachers

Classroom Management Tips

W hether you photocopy each story page at the time of use, or prepare class
sets of the stories in advance, a simple storage system will make it easy to
build a collection that you can keep on hand for later use or repeated practice.
Place each set of stories in a file folder. Tape or glue a sample page to the
front for reference, or label the tab with the target phonics skill and title.
To encourage self-checking, create an answer key, filling in the words to each
story and circling the words in the Word Search. Attach to the back of the
envelope or file folder. Or, place answer keys in a binder. (For a complete set
of answers, see pages 10–14.)

Activities to Use With Any Story
The activities here are designed to extend what students learn with the story
pages. Use them to provide additional practice with phonics skills, to improve
fluency and comprehension, and as springboards for students’ own writing.
Word Wall Builders

Extend learning by creating word walls or charts based on target words
from the stories.
1. Copy target words from a story on chart paper or a whiteboard.
2. Read the words with children and invite them to suggest other words that
could go on the chart. Guide them to recognize the particular skill area and
to match that in their suggestions. For example, for a word wall based on
“A Bug on a Rug” (page 23) children can add new CVC words with the
short u sound—for example, fun, hug, run, bus, cup, and mud.
3. Copy the words on large index cards or sheets of paper. Create pictures to
go with as many words as possible (enlarge the illustration from the story
page to illustrate words from the story, using an arrow to point out the
corresponding area of the art). Display pictures and words as a word wall.
Use removable adhesive to create a portable word wall that children can take
to their desk and then return to the wall when finished.
4. Play word wall games to reinforce word recognition and spelling. For
example, using a word wall based on “A Bug on a Rug,” direct students’
attention to the word rug. Then say, “I’m thinking of a word that rhymes with
rug. What is it?” (bug) or “I see two words that begin with h. What are they?”
(hum, hug)
Pocket Chart Practice

The short stories in this book lend themselves well to pocket chart activities.
Suggestions for creating these activities follow.
Who Has the Word? Write each line of a story on a sentence strip, leaving spaces
for the target words. Cut sentence strips to fit the spaces and write a target word
on each. Distribute the word cards to different children. In the pocket chart,
place sentence strips in order. Read aloud the story. When you come to a missing
word ask, “Who has the word that goes here?” Have that child place the word in
the correct space. Continue in this way to complete the story, and then read it
aloud together.

Scrambled Stories: Write each sentence of a story on a sentence strip, filling in
any missing words. Mix up the strips and place them in a pocket chart. Invite
children to help you sequence the sentences to unscramble the story. Number
the backs of the sentence strips so children can work independently or in pairs to
place the sentences in order, and then check their work. As a variation, cut apart
sentences into individual words. Challenge children to arrange the words
in order.

after reading “My Pet Mule” (page 35), ask:
Who is this story about? (a pet mule)
What is the mule’s name? (Luke)
What can this mule do? (hum a tune, play the flute, use a computer)
Do you think this mule is real or make-believe? How do you know?
(make-believe; mules can’t do those things)

Fluency Practice
The brevity of the stories makes them just right for fluency practice.
1. Copy a story on chart paper. Have children help you fill in the
missing words.
2. Read the story aloud, modeling good reading behaviors for pacing,
expression, punctuation, and inflection. For example, use stories with more
than one character (and dialogue) to model how to use a different voice for
each character. Model how question marks and exclamation points give you
clues about expression.
3. Read the story together, using an echo-reading approach. You read one line
and children repeat it, echoing your pacing, phrasing, and intonation.
4. Read the story as a group, again encouraging children to follow along with
pacing, phrasing, and intonation.
Story Switcheroo
Have some fun with the stories, using the characters, settings, and events to
create new stories.
1. Write characters’ names on slips of paper. Place them in a bag and label it
“Characters.” Do the same with story settings (such as “a bear’s cave”), events
(such as “camping”), and problems (such as “being homesick”).
2. Let children take turns choosing a slip from each bag. Use the elements to tell
a new story. Write it on chart paper and let children illustrate to create a new
set of stories to read.
