I have learned how to reduce the size of PDF files while keeping the images and text readable.  I'm adding the compressed files in addition to the regular files.  They are generally less than half the size of the regular PDF files.  To open one of the compressed files, click on the blue-gray bar below the regular green file bar. 

Level 4 - Phonics Patterns


Including:
Phonetic Words And Stories, Books 1-8
Basic Phonics Patterns, Books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-6, 7-8
Know The Phonetic Code, Volumes 1-3
Phonics Patterns Workbook For Books 1-4
Phonics Pattern Workbook For Books 5-8
Color-Coded Phonetic Lists
 And also these older books:
Phonetic Words And Stories Teaching Guide, 2013
​The older version of the Basic Phonics Patterns books, called Decoding Practice, Words, Sentences, And Stories, Books 1-8.
​
Consonant Patterns -  Teaches all of the consonant patterns
​Vowel Patterns -  Teaches all of the vowel patterns

Click on any of the green bars to download the regular PDF files.  Click on blue bars to download compressed PDF files.

The phonics patterns books are
​available in three different versions.

There are three sets of books that teach phonics patterns.  All three sets teach the same phonics patterns in the same order, but they are not printed in the same format.  In each set of books students read a list of words for each new pattern learned.  Students also read short practice stories after several new patterns have been studied.  The two phonics patterns workbooks can be used with any version.  
​
  1. Phonetic Words And Stories - Very large print with color-coded vowels, pictures and words are on facing pages so that the teacher and students can play an oral blending "robot game" with each new set of words, ten new words per pattern, practice stories are printed in both color-coded print and all black print.
  2. Basic Phonics Patterns - All black print, pictures are beside each word, word lists often have more than ten words, illustrated sentences are included for each new pattern
  3. Know The Phonetic Code - Smaller all black print, word lists are not illustrated, more than ten words are included for most patterns, two-syllable words are included for most patterns, the practice stories are illustrated  

Practice Stories ​Book

This book contains just the illustrated stories from the phonics patterns books, without the phonetic word lists.

Color-Coded Phonetic Lists
This book contains word lists for each of the phonics patterns taught at Level 4.  The vowels are color-coded.  The words are not illustrated.  For each pattern, students read both rhyming lists and body-coda lists, which begin with the same consonant-vowel combinations.  Reading both types of lists helps students build fluency when decoding (reading words phonetically).

​
Decoding Practice Books 
The sequence, words lists, and stories in these older books are mostly the same as the Basic Phonics Patterns books, with a few differences.  The charts are in a slightly different format.  If you were using these from the old web site and want to continue using them you can download the PDF files for the books here.  You should be able to use Phonics Patterns Workbook For Books 1-4 and Phonics Patterns Workbook For Books 5-8, with minor adjustments.

Level 4 Phonics Patterns Workbooks
Use these workbooks with any of the three sets of level four books.  They all teach the same phonics patterns in the same sequence.  I have added optional instructions at the end of the two workbooks that tell how to play the "Robot Game" and do spelling dictation using just the workbook pages.  The Robot Game uses oral blending exercises for each set of words and pictures to prepare students to read them with confidence.

Decoding And Comprehension Tests
Click the green bar below to download the PDF file for a book with decoding and comprehension tests for phonics patterns books one through eight.  This book is incomplete.  Most of the tests are included for the first books.  Many tests are missing for the later books.

Older Phonics Pattern Books - To Teach/Review Consonant And Vowel Patterns
The books shown below are older books from the previous web site, but I think they could still be useful.  Students practice reading word lists and a group of sentences for each of the consonant or vowel patterns. The phonics patterns are not taught in sequential  order like they are taught in the books shown above.  They are arranged in alphabetical order, to make it easy to find the pattern you are looking for.  The books include both basic and advanced patterns.  The words and sentences are not illustrated, and they are printed in all black print.  The pattern to study is shown at the top of each page along with a key word and picture.  In each book, students read rhyming word lists first, wherever possible, then a mixed list (all with the same pattern, but not rhyming), followed by a group of sentences which contain words with the new pattern.
