For those of you who have used my free Short Vowel Stories to practice phonics with your emergent readers, here’s an easy next step: a FREE and adapted version of Teach Me to Read Duets.
Fifteen years ago or so, I wrote these little stories for my daughter when she was learning to read.
Then, about two years ago, I adapted them for my son with Down Syndrome. Compared to the original version, the font size is larger, there are two spaces between each word, and there are larger gaps between each line. I also broke this book up into three smaller books (A, B, and C), all of which are included in this file.
Well, my son whizzed through them nearly as quickly as I could adapt them. Just recently, I pulled them out again for a young boy in our Down Syndrome Co-op, who had just completed the Short Vowel Stories. Easy-peasy! He read several pages in one lesson. So I thought I really ought to post this one.
