This is the Spelfabet Workbook 4 version 3 teaching sequence, both for the parent/aide (print up to 5 copies) and teacher clinician (print up to 30 copies) editions. The Dandelion Readers Extended Code Level 1 books provide reading practice which follows the same sequence, and the printable Phonics With Feeling books also target one vowel grapheme at a time, so could be used with this sequence. I’m still searching for great decodable books suitable for older learners to use with this workbook, please let me know if you find any! Some learners can only manage one grapheme at a time.
