Level 4 Picture Files - Phonics Patterns, Including Consonant Blends

How To See The Pictures:  The picture files are available from the links shown in green below.  Each link will download a zip file to your computer that contains multiple images.  You won't be able to see the images on your computer until the file is unzipped.  To unzip the file, double click on it.  Click Extract all. Select the location where you want to store the file, make sure the Show extracted files when complete box is checked, then click Extract.  Now you will be able to open the file and see and use the pictures.
Level 4, Phonics Patterns, includes three separate sets of books which teach the same phonics patterns in the same order.  The format for each set of books is different.  The same set of illustrated stories is included in all three sets of books.
  • Phonetic Words And Stories, Books 1-8 - Large print with color-coded vowels.  Words and pictures are on facing pages so that the teacher can do a phonemic awareness activity while introducing new words. 
  • Basic Phonics Patterns, Books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-6, 7-8 - Medium all black print, with illustrated words and sentences
  • Know The Phonetic Code - Smaller all black print, the word lists do not have pictures
Notes About The Pictures At Level Four: Each file contains a set of pictures for a phonics pattern taught at level four.  The order in which the files are listed are in the order in which they appear in the books.  These are the simple line drawings that appear in the Sound City Reading phonics books and workbooks.  They are black line images on a white background.  I have converted all of the pictures to the png format.  This will allow the images to be used more easily in digital applications.  The pictures are copyrighted by Kathryn J. Davis.  Teachers, tutors, and parents have permission to download the pictures and use them to create bulletin boards, flashcards, games, presentations, and other instructional materials for their own students, as needed.  ​The pictures may be shared through links to this site.  The pictures may not be used to make materials to sell commercially.
