GOOD NEWS - This Weebly website will remain online for at least two more years.  I will add updates and any newer materials here.  I will not be adding Sound City Reading information or materials to the newer WordPress website at www.soundcityreading.blog at this time.     

Pictures

I'm providing these pictures files so that you can use them if desired to create supplementary materials to use with your students.  The pictures could be used in bulletin board displays, PDF files, projector presentations, worksheets, learning centers, learning games, flashcards, etc.  
These pictures could also be used to illustrate words being taught in languages other than English.  
The pictures on this website are copyrighted by Kathryn J. Davis.  They are available for use by teachers, tutors, parents, and schools with their own students.  Any materials that contain these pictures may not be sold commercially.  
You won't be able to see the pictures in a file until you have downloaded the file and extracted it.  See the instructions at the bottom of this page.  If you want to know which pictures are in the files shown below, click on PDF Files on the main menu, choose the desired level on the submenu, and open any of the PDF files for the books used at that level.

All Materials Copyright 2025 or earlier by Kathryn J. Davis, All Rights Reserved
My goal is for as many people as possible to use this reading program to teach students how to read.  All of the materials you need are available on this site as free PDF files.  The materials are copyrighted, but I give permission to all teachers, parents, tutors, and school systems to download and print any of the PDF files for use with the students they teach.    However, they are not to make a profit from distributing the materials.  If you don't have a printer, using a print shop is allowed.  If preferred, you may work with the PDF files directly from a computer screen, without printing them.  This makes it possible for tutors to teach the program online.  Audio and video files are free to watch and to listen to, and they may be downloaded if desired for use with your  students.  In special cases I may grant written permission to individuals to use the materials in other ways.  You can contact me at [email protected].
