These stories should be read by the parent or teacher later on the same day after the lesson has been completed. Each story features the target sound (phoneme) for that lesson. The stories are humorous and written in rhyme. Trials in the U.S. and the U.K showed that children love them. \u003cbr\u003e Many children can begin reading these stories on their own (with a little help) about midway through the program. This is highly motivating. By the end of the program all children can read these stories with ease. \u003cbr\u003e The stories will work well with any synthetic phonics program that teaches the spelling alternatives for the sounds in English. \u003cbr\u003e Here is a story sample. Can you discover what sound is featured in this story? Find all the spellings for this sound. \u003cbr\u003e  Mole, as you see by the title, does not know how to spell 'business.'] \u003cbr\u003e Sample text from \"Mole's Home Biznis\" \u003cbr\u003e Mole poked his nose out of his hole\u003cbr\u003e He reached for his Daily Globe\u003cbr\u003e that was stuck in the snow.\u003cbr\u003e \"Well, well. It's cold, it's cold. I'd better go down below.\" \u003cbr\u003e As mole went into his underground burrow\u003cbr\u003e his face had a frown, his forehead a furrow.\u003cbr\u003e He was, as usual, alone at home. Mole mumbled, \"Home alone. Home alone.\" \u003cbr\u003e Mole had a habit of saying things over, \u003cbr\u003e and over, and over. \u003cbr\u003e He sighed, \"Life is too dull. Life is too slow for such a talented fellow.\u003cbr\u003e I need a goal. I need a goal. I can't always be home alone in my hole.\" \u003cbr\u003e He sat down with his cocoa and toast\u003cbr\u003e to read the Globe and open his post. As he unfolded the paper, he saw this: \u003cbr\u003e \"Start your Own HomeBusiness\" \u003cbr\u003e (the story continues ---)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781425187903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Diane McGuinness","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36650411098268,"sku":"9781425187903","price":9.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cfd641a8-563d-460d-b222-b872fc3aea10.jpg?v=1603875226","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sound-steps-to-reading-storybook-sound-targeting-storybook-9781425187903","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
