Free Supplemental Materials

Level A Blending/Segmenting Supplement
This file contains a brief series of exercises and lessons for students who know the letter/sound correspondences for the one-letter consonants and vowels and can read simple words such as "mop," and "cat," but whose fluency saying letter/sounds or reading simple three- and four-sound syllables is less than 60 correct per minute.  The supplement is generally used in conjunction with Level B, usually as the preliminary work in a lesson.

Level B1 and B2 Sentences for Fluency Practice
This file provides all of the Sentences for Fluency Practice pages contained in the workbooks, but with the words filled in.  Some students have difficulties reading their own writing when practicing these sentences.  These sheets can be used in such cases.

NOTE:  These files are for the 2008 Editions of Levels B1 and B2.

Level B1 Word Cards
This file contains a template for producing a set of word cards for the Breaking Words Apart words in Level B1.  (It is a good idea to laminate the sheets after printing them.)

Level B2 Word Cards
This file contains a template for producing a set of word cards for the Breaking Words Apart words in Level B2.  (It is a good idea to laminate the sheets after printing them.)

Level B1 and B2 Speed Drills
This file contains word speed drills to help students learn the phonics content presented in Level B.  The Speed Drills for Level B1 focus on the vowel spellings covered in B1.  The Speed Drills for Level B2 focus on reading two-syllable words, with a few three-sylable words lists, and one four-syllable word list.  These are designed for use after the student has completed the appropriate workbook.

Speed Drill Record Sheet
This file contains a template for a recording sheet to keep a comprehensive record of an individual student's performance on speed drills.

Level B1 Sentence Chains
This file provides additional practice reading sentences containing many repetitions of the high frequency words analyzed in each unit.  This is an extremely helpful supplement for students who require a significant amount of repeated readings of a word until they can recognize it quickly.

Level B - Short Version - Real Word Fluency Practice

This file provides fluency practice for students who have finished Workbook B - Short Version.  Each sheet contains 8 real words presented repeatedly.  Two different spelling patterns, mostly involving vowel digraphs, are covered on each sheet.

Level B - Short Version - Nonsense Word Fluency Practice
This file provides fluency practice for students who have finished Workbook B - Short Version.  Each sheet contains a number of nonsense words, mostly rimes (i.e., one-syllable strings beginning with vowels, such as "oan" and "eet").  There are several spelling patterns on each sheet.
