For every passage, you will find:

• The targeted word families/vowel sounds listed in the left hand corner so it's easy for you and your students to reference.
• Crayons and target skills above the passage so that your students can color code the CVC words in the passage before reading. The crayons are white so that YOU (or your students) can choose which color to use.
