A Winner!

A fabulous resource for teaching phonics concepts in a primary classroom. Each page or 2-page spread is a silly rhyme with cheery illustrations offering good picture support. Students will enjoy joining Ow the Cow, Ake the Snake, Y the Fly, Eep the Sheep, Ook the Book, In the Twin, Ug the Bug, At the Cat, Et the Pet, Ee the Bee, Ing the Thing and Id the Kid on their zany adventures.

Ook the Book is great for phonics

I use this book with my students to introduce word families and have them write their own poetry. It is a great read aloud and read along. The kids enjoy it and are able to make their own word family poetry. Lots of great decodable language...

Great Book! I am on, on the Jon!
