Read the words before the sentence
Practice the individual words first. Then read the sentence from left to right and ask the learner what happened. Capital letters and punctuation may also need a brief introduction. These short examples are original practice sentences, not a leveled reading assessment.
Keep the extra words visible
A sentence can contain CVC words without every word being CVC. Small function words such as a and the need their own teaching. Do not label a whole sentence fully decodable unless its spellings match the learner's taught sequence.
Make a sentence together
Choose a word from the list, discuss its meaning, and say a sentence aloud. The adult can write the sentence and identify which words the child already knows how to read. A sentence that is useful for oral language may contain spellings that are not ready for independent reading.
