Using Children's Picture Books
As students learn new patterns, they will be able to read eighty-one popular and classic children's picture books. The books are carefully arranged, so that all of the stories will be decodable. The students will have learned all of the phonics patterns needed to read each book. The list of books to read is included in Advanced Phonics Patterns From Children's Books. The books must be obtained separately, from the library or bookstores.
The PDF file below contains the list of children's trade books to read at level five, along with a sequence chart showing when each phonics pattern or syllable pattern is taught and when each trade book should be read. Click on the green bar to open the file.

Older Books That Include Both Basic And Advanced Phonics Patterns
Consonant Patterns and Vowel Patterns Books
The books shown below are older books from the previous web site. Students practice reading word lists and a group of sentences for each of the consonant or vowel patterns. These books are not sequential. They do not start with the easiest patterns and progress to more challenging patterns, like the newer phonics patterns books. The phonics patterns in both books are arranged in alphabetical order, to make it easy to find the pattern you are looking for. The lists 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 the 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 arranged in rhyming lists), followed by a group of sentences. See sample pages below.

Advanced Decoding Practice, January 2014
This older book includes word lists to teach/review phonics patterns and syllable patterns from Level 4 - Phonics Patterns, and Level 5 - Advanced Phonics Patterns. I still really like this book. It includes an older version of the sound charts. It would be a good book to use for students who need to review levels they have studied. It could also be used for initial instruction when teaching the patterns. Click on the green bar to open the file.

Color-Coded Review Lists - February 2010
This book uses a color coding system for the vowels that I began in about 1985. Each vowel sound is printed in a specific color, for example, patterns with the long ē sound are printed in dark green. It the time I put this book together, I was also printing consonant blends and digraphs in color. In the fall of 2010 I stopped printing the consonant patterns in color. This book covers the patterns taught at level four. It could be used at level five to review those patterns. Click on the green bar to open the file.

Advanced Phonics Patterns Cards

Use these cards to teach and review the phonetic patterns in Advanced Phonics Patterns From Children's Books. The cards should be printed on pastel gold (not metallic) colored card stock. Each day, show all of the cards that have been introduced and have students say the sounds. Model and have students repeat as needed.
Note: In this set of cards, whenever a silent letter is shown with an x above it to show that it is silent, the next card shows the same letter without the x, to be pronounced normally. This allows students to differentiate between the two versions. |

Alphabet Cards - Capital And Lower Case Letters
It may come as a surprise, but it will still be beneficial to use the alphabet flashcards when students are working through the Advanced Phonics Patterns book. There are several reasons for this.
- When students see a single vowel letter, they will pronounce all of its possible sounds.
- When students see a single consonant letter, they will pronounce all of its possible sounds.
- Several "silent" letters are introduced at level five. Students will indicate two sounds for these letters by pronouncing the first sound orally and then covering their mouth with the the fingers on one hand to indicate that the consonant is sometimes not pronounced in words.
