How To Use This Book 1. Listen to the sound story on the CD while you look at the pictures beginning on page 5. Look at the picture for each new sound. Look at the letter that represents that sound. 2. Look at the Sound Story alphabet beginning on page 10. Look at each letter. Say the sound. Each vowel sound has a special color. This will help you notice the vowel when you read new words. 3. Look at page 1. Write the new letters listed at the bottom of the page on plain white index cards. Go through the cards and practice saying the sound for each letter. Then read the words on page 1. To read each word, say each letter sound going from left to right. Read each word several times until you can connect the sounds smoothly. Look at the picture for each word. Listen to this page on the CD for help. Then read it all by yourself. 4. Continue in the same way for the remaining pages with words and pictures. Add new index cards for each new letter that you study. The new letters that you need will be written at the bottom of the pages. Go over all the letter cards you’ve studied every day. 5. When you get to a page with sentences, look at the vowel at the top of the page. Say the vowel sound. Then read the sentences. Read each word going from left to right in the sentence. If you remember the words in the sentences, that’s great. If you don’t remember a word, just say the letter sounds from left to right, connecting the sounds smoothly. Think about what the word means. Then read the whole sentence. Use the listening CD to help you. Then read the page all by yourself. 6. On the sentence pages, you’ll see a row of sight words near the top of the page. These words cannot be sounded out in the regular way. If you see an umbrella over a vowel, use the /u/ umbrella sound (short u sound) for the vowel. If you see a small z above the letter s, use the z sound instead of the s sound. If you see an x above a letter, the letter is silent. Don’t say its sound. Practice reading each sight word before reading the sentences. 7. Some pages have words with the letter _s added to the end of the word. Read the word the regular way and add the _s sound to the end. 8. Use the Short Vowel Workbook to practice spelling the words that you’ve read. 9. If the words seem hard to read, remember that you will need to read very slowly at first while you are learning. If it takes you a long time to read a page, practice going over the same page several times before going on to the next one. You’ll be surprised at how well you can do it after you’ve practiced. Don’t forget to use the listening CD to help you. Also, if you’re having trouble, get the Beginning and Ending Sounds Workbook and work through it first. It will help you how figure out how sounds fit together to make a word. 10. Congratulations! You’re on your way to being a great reader! © 2008 by Kathryn J. Davis

A Sound Story About Audrey and Brad One Saturday morning, Audrey and Brad sat in the den, watching the pendulum swing back and forth on the clock on the wall, “t, t, t, t.” They were bored.
“Hey, Mom,” said Brad. “Can we walk down to the park?” “Yes,” said Mom. “Be sure you are back in time for your violin lessons.” Soon Audrey and Brad were swinging as high as they could at the park. They could hear the loud sound of the chains screeching as they went back and forth, “i, i, i, i.”
Then they jumped down and ran around the park playing chase. Before long, they were out of breath. Brad could hear himself breathing hard, “h, h, h, h.”
They ran home and their Mom drove them to their violin lessons. Mrs. Russ was pleased to see them. “Did you practice every day?” she said. “I did,” said Audrey quickly. Brad replied that he had practiced, too.
Soon they were playing music. Each violin made a beautiful sound as they pulled their bows across the strings. The sound was “l, l, l, l, l.”

Just as they arrived home from their music lesson, they heard the “n, n, n” sound of the engine on a big delivery truck. It pulled into their driveway and the delivery man handed Mom a package. Audrey and Brad were pleased to see that new books had arrived from their book club.
As they went into the house, they could see dark clouds gathering overhead. Soon, lightning was flashing and rain was pouring down. The wind blew hard enough to make the branches on the trees sway back and forth. Audrey and Brad could hear the sound of the wind forcing it’s way into the house around the front door, “wwwwww.”
“Well,” said Mom. “The weather is so bad, this is the perfect time to go over your math facts.” It was Brad’s turn to go first. “Uuuuhhh,” was all he could say as he looked at the flashcards. He had not been practicing his math facts. When Audrey had her turn, she got every one right.
They ate lunch and then Audrey and Brad and Dad got into the car to go to basketball practice. The wind had stopped blowing, but it was still drizzling. At the gym, all the kids on the team warmed up by dribbling a basketball. “B, b, b, b,” was the sound of the balls bouncing on the hardwood floor. Then they practiced passing and shooting.
After basketball practice they went home. Soon, Mom called Audrey and Brad to dinner. “Mmmmmm,” they said when they saw their plates. They were having scrambled eggs, ham, and muffins. It looked delicious.
Just as they sat down to eat, they heard a loud “Rrrrrr” coming from the back yard. They ran to look out the back door. Chewie had cornered a neighborhood cat in the yard. She was growling at the cat. © 2008 by Kathryn J. Davis

The cat had no intention of putting up with Chewie. She reached out and scratched Chewie right on the nose, “fffff.” Chewie cried out in pain as the cat quickly jumped over the fence and ran away.
“Poor, Chewie!” said Brad. “She’ll know to leave cats alone, next time.” He reached into the refrigerator and pulled out a soft drink. “Kssss,” was the sound of the air rushing out as he pulled the tab off the can.
After dinner, the whole family watched a movie together. It was pretty good. One character was a man who couldn’t hear very well. He kept saying “Ehh?” whenever someone spoke to him. He couldn’t understand a word they were saying. “That man should get hearing aides,” said Mom. “He could hear much better with them.”
The following Monday morning, Audrey and Brad took the bus to school. As Audrey slipped into her desk, she saw that a classmate had brought a snake to school in a cage. They talked about the snake during science class. It slithered around in its cage, flicking its tongue in and out with a soft “sssss” sound. Audrey worked hard all morning. After lunch, her class went outside for recess. She enjoyed jumping rope with her friends. The rope made a “j, j, j” sound as it slapped the concrete.
After recess Audrey realized that her throat was hurting. It had been sore all day, but now it was worse. Her teacher sent her to the office to see the school nurse. Audrey opened her mouth wide and said “oooooo” while the nurse examined her throat. Then the nurse took her temperature. “You don’t have a fever,” said the nurse. “It will be all right for you to go back to class.” © 2008 by Kathryn J. Davis

Back in the classroom, Audrey picked up her pencil to begin her afternoon assignment. “Ccc,” the lead broke on her pencil as soon it touched the paper. She reached into her desk to get out another sharpened pencil. It was a good thing she had an extra one.
At 2 o’clock, Audrey heard a knock at the door, “d, d, d.” It was her father, Dr. Davis, coming to help students work on the computers in the back of the room. It wasn’t Audrey’s turn to work on the computers, today, so she smiled at her dad and then continued working on her assignment.
At the end of the day, Audrey and Brad met their bus group in the hall. Their bus teacher waited for their group to be called. As they stepped outside, they could barely see their bus in the distance, already on its way. “AAAaaa!” screamed Audrey and Brad. All the children were upset. “It’s OK,” said the teacher. “We’ll call your parents to come pick you up.” The children waited in the office for their parents. They could hear the sound of the vacuum cleaner as Mrs. Taylor vacuumed the rug, “vvvvv.”
Brad was thirsty, so he asked for permission to go to the hall to get a drink of water. He went straight to the water fountain. He turned the handle and leaned over to swallow the gushing water. “G, g, g, g,” went the water as it streamed out of the faucet. “G, g, g, g,” went his throat as he guzzled the water. When Mom arrived at school she took them straight to the doctor’s office to get Audrey’s throat checked. She wanted to be sure it wasn’t strep throat. As they waited in the waiting room, they watched the fish swim back and forth in a large aquarium. They could hear the “p, p, p, p” sound of the air pump pushing air into the water. © 2008 by Kathryn J. Davis

Audrey looked up when she heard the “k, k, k” sound of the receptionist’s heels stepping across the tile floor. “I need to ask you a question about your insurance,” said Mrs. Kendrick to Audrey’s mother. “Certainly,” said her mother, as she stepped to the office counter. When Audrey’s exam was finished, the doctor said that she didn’t have strep throat after all. Mom was relieved. As Audrey, Brad and Mom returned to their car, Brad accidentally stepped on a piece of yucky bubble gum. “Yyyy,” he said. He tried to scrape it off on the edge of the sidewalk.
Mom took the kids to the park on the way home. They sat at a picnic table and had a snack that she had packed. It was a pretty day. They could hear a mourning dove cooing in the distance, “coo, coo, coo.”
Suddenly they heard a loud buzzing sound, “zzzzzzz.” They turned to see an enormous swarm of bees moving through the air. It landed in a pine tree near their picnic table. Other bees flew around in the air nearby. “Let’s go home,” they all yelled in unison. And that is exactly what they did.
