CVC Story 7: A Phonics Story for Beginner Readers (The Gap on the Map)

CVC Story 7: 
A Phonics Story for Beginner Readers 


 Another CVC Phonics story is here! Want to see my other phonics stories and resources? Check here!

Phonics story 7 is here! In this beginner reader book, your learners will focus on the -AP word family and a few new sight words too! You can pair this with my CVC booklets, as they follow the same sequence of new words!


What's A CVC Story?

Every one of my CVC stories comes with more than just a story for your beginner readers! Inside you'll find comprehension activities, simple lessons, and activities for your learners to use. These units bring together many parts of literacy to make sure your lessons shine and stick!

What's Included:
  • A 6-page CVC Phonics/Sight Word Story
  • Comprehension Questions to discuss after reading and make sure your readers understand their reading
  • Literacy & comprehension activities (Making connections, making predictions, drawing comprehension)
  • An optional grammar or language lesson that you can do (kept very simple for this age group!)

Download the Story Unit

You can download this CVC story unit below! You may use it in your classroom, school, on your smartboard or in your homeschool. You can also use it in virtual classrooms or lessons, and it's great for tutoring too!

All I ask, as per my terms, is that my website is left on each page (www.messybeautifulfun.com) as is.

I Can Math Booklets: Count to 120 Counting and Cardinality Workbook

 I Can Math Booklets: Count to 120 
Counting and Cardinality Workbook

Another I Can Math Workbook is here! Want to see more? Check out my math booklet page!

If you've been enjoying doing these math workbooks with your learners, you're really going to love this one too! Full of plenty of practice that zeroes in on a standard, these workbooks help you assess your kids learning in an easy no-prep format!


Focusing on Math Standards

Instead of focusing on many things at once when learning about cardinality, this workbook will allow your learners to focus on one thing - counting from 1 to 120! All cut-and-paste or coloring activities, these worksheets take the focus away from writing numbers and only require kids to cut, paste, color, and count!

I find this method helps those kids who need a little more practice with number order or identifying numbers without making it feel overwhelming. Kids also LOVE that they get a cool certificate after completing the worksheets you decide to put into their books!


Counting to 120 Worksheets? Here's Plenty!

I put a lot of time into making these sheets really fun for your learners too! Lining up numbered seashells on a beach, digging up gems in a number mine, and setting a cupcake table for a party are just a few of the fun worksheets you'll find inside!

Plus, I have included counting charts that show kids only 20 numbers per page from 1 to 120 - a great way to focus on sets they may struggle with! You can use counter chips or blocks to cover up some numbers and have them tell you which numbers are missing, or you can have them count both backward and forward.
