Guided Reading Phonics Practice
Read the story. Then solve each phonics challenge. Look for vowel teams and word endings as you read.
On a rainy day, Jay and his sister May made a tiny sailboat. They painted its wooden sides and taped on a bright red sail. When the rain stopped, they took it to the pond. A breeze pushed the boat across the water. “It can race to that rock!” said Jay. The boat bumped the rock, spun around, and sailed back. May laughed. “Our boat won the race!”
