Welcome to our world of Phonics Adventure, crafted with love by two passionate teachers With a shared mission to make tricky literacy concepts engaging and easy to understand, we've blended storytelling with phonics instruction to turn complex grammar into a joyful read-aloud experience.

Drawing from our classroom experiences, we created Phonics Adventures: Past Tense Park as both a story and a tool. With just one reading, children can see, hear, and practice the three sounds of -ed, while giving teachers a playful way to introduce and reinforce this rule. This book isn't just a story... it's a memory-making adventure that brings phonics to life

Phonics Rule: Past Tense -ed

The suffix -ed can sound 3 ways,

It changes with the verb it plays.

No voice? It's /t/, so crisp and clear.

A voiced end? /d/ is what you hear.

But end with t or end with d,

Then /id/ is the sound you'll need.

So think about the sound you hear,

And the right -ed will soon be clear
