Quick Start Guide
Read the book WITH your child. You

read the “regular” text, and he/she reads
the big, red words, sort of like reading
the different parts in a play.
c-a-t
cat
Help your child sound out
the words as needed.
Read the book several times. This

helps develop the eye muscles and
left-to-right reading patterns that are
necessary for reading.
Don’t rush it. Body builders ABC

AAA
AA Repetition is important!
That’s why each “poem” is included
twice...
Once to focus on the

word(s) being learned
The second time to practice the word(s)

along with other words learned so far
in Progressive Phonics.
If your child wants to– and

is able to– read the “black”
words, go ahead and let
him/her
But don’t force your child to read

the “black”words – these words
are coming up soon in the next few
Progressive Phonics books!
Book Seven - page ii

One more thing...
To relieve the “boredom” of reading

each “poem” twice, each “second”
picture has THREE changes from
the original.
Let your child have fun locating

each of the changes.

going to learn the easiest ways to
read and write the “ooo” sound.
Let’s practice...
(If you need more examples of the “ooo” sound, try:

A “y” at the end of a word
y
At the beginning of a word, a “y” usually
says, “yuh”, like in yellow, yes, yam, you,

At the end of a word, the letter “Y” usually

says “E” or “I” – like in the words funny,
bunny, silly, Billy, my, try, fly, and sky.
funn E
I
m
If a word is really, really short – like only
two or three letters long – the letter “Y”
usually says “I”, like in the words: by, try,
sky, fly, my, fry, dry, and so on.

Practice time!
The following nine “poems” don’t introduce
any new concepts. We call them “mix it ups”
because they don’t focus on one particular
phonics lesson – they simply highlight the
kinds of words that have been learned so
far in the Progressive Phonics book series.

mix
mix it up
up
If you had an elephant,

would you keep him in
your room? Would you feed
him a lot of peanuts?
Would you clean him
with a broom?

mix
mix it up
up
I sat by a tree to read

a book; then the tree sat
down by me. I did not
know a tree could sit, nor
that a tree could read.

mix
mix it up
up
My dog is good; my
cat is too, but my fish is
always in a bad mood.
I can see him swim in

circles; I can see him snap
his teeth. I keep my fingers
out of his bowl, so that he
can’t bite me.

mix
mix it up
up
I need to feed my cat;

I need to feed him soon.
I have a can of food but I
cannot find the spoon. I cannot
use my hand to scoop the
cat food out; the food is
way too icky-poo – how do I
feed him, how?

mix
mix it up
up
On the way to the laundromat,

I met a dog in a big black hat.
He asked me if I knew the way
to get to the park to play.
I showed him the way, and we
played all day – until the moon
said, “Go away.” I did not get
my laundry done, but the dog and I
had a lot of fun.
mix
mix it up
up
I really want to go to sleep,

but my head is full of silly
sheep. I tell them, no,
do not play. I tell them,
please, just go away. But no,
those mean, old, silly sheep
never want to go to sleep.

mix
mix it up
up
I keep my shoes in this

box; I keep my shirts with my
socks. But I do not have a
special place to keep my dolls –
that is why they’re on the rug –
they sleep where they fall.

mix
mix it up
up
I try to keep my shoes tied.

I try and try and try. But
my shoelaces are magic, and they
always come untied. Is it a secret?
Do I need to know a spell?
Or can somebody teach me how
to tie them well.

mix
mix it up
up
Have you seen the moon

tonight, so big up in the sky?
I have never, ever been there,
but I’d like to go tonight.
So, do you know anyone who

has been up to the moon –
someone who can show me how
to get me up there soon?

The end
Don’t forget!

are willing), email us with your
