 Sequence of Instruction
This is the fourth book of the Cut, Paste, and Spell series of books designed to complement your
word study instruction. The activities in this book are perfect for early within word learners, who
are learning the difference between using one vowel when the vowel sound is short vs. choosing a
pattern when the vowel sound is long. These activities are also great for middle within word
learners as the specific long vowel patterns are practiced and reinforced. Please feel free to email
me with any comments or suggestions at tchrgrl@gmail.com.

About Me:
This is my 14th year as a teacher. I have taught almost every grade in
elementary school (1st through 5th grade) and have been a literacy
facilitator. I am a reading specialist and word study enthusiast. I studied
under Shane Templeton and Donald Bear at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Teachers are the most amazing people on the planet. I am convinced that
they work harder than any other profession. I hope that my products save
you time so that you can enjoy life with your own family and friends.
