Word Family Songs Animated DVD
These active, catchy songs are the perfect way to help kindergarten, pre-k, or first grade kids learn to read CVC word families, learn decoding strategies, blending sounds, rhyming words, phonics, phonemic awareness, and so much more! If you need to help kids learn to read, this is perfect for your pre-reader, emergent reader, ESL, ELL, or special needs students, children with dyslexia, or anyone who needs to learn the decoding strategy of phoneme blending. Sight words are important, but children simply cannot learn to read without a strong foundation in phonics and phonemic awareness, and these word family songs will help get them started! CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) word families form the basic foundation of phonics: giving each sound in a simple, three letter word, and blending those sounds together to make a word. The truth is that kids can’t learn to read without it.
Songs include: Just Two Sounds, Little Two Letter Words, How Do You Sound It Out?, At Family Song, An Family Song, It Family Song, In Family Song, Ig Family Song, Ip Family Song, Op Family Song, Ot Family Song, Ox Family Song, Et Family Song, En Family Song, Eg Family Song, Ug Family Song, Ut Family Song, Un Family Song, Nonsense Words

This collection of songs solves the problem by setting all of the sounding out steps to music, creating a natural bridge to learning by blending the sounds together with simple songs and movements. Students sing the onset (the initial consonant) then sound out the rime (the vowel and consonants that follow the onset,) turning reading practice into a fun, sing and move-along activity! Each video also includes support graphics and animation to fully visualize the sounds being blended, making learning these difficult concepts a treat to practice and easy to retain!

Includes CVC Vol. 1 & 2 Word Family Workbooks Printable Download
The CVC Word Families Vol. 1 & 2 Workbooks were designed to give children more practice reading words that have the "consonant-vowel-consonant" spelling pattern. These types of words are supposed to be "easy" for children to read, and therefore tend to be glossed over by many publishing companies in their beginning reading materials. However, children often need extended practice in sounding out these three letter words in order to feel comfortable with them. They also need a chance to practice them within the context of the sight words that they are learning. Therefore, Heidi created this resource to give children the opportunity to practice these words along with the most basic sight words, and then she added in a few more new sight words with each new vowel sound.
CVC Vol. 1 Includes 226 pages of worksheets, flashcards, and mini songbooks
CVC Vol. 2 Includes 288 pages of worksheets, flashcards, and mini songbooks
Includes CVC Vol. 1 & 2 I Spy Easy Reader Worksheets Printable Download
The CVC I-Spy Easy Reader Books are a fun way for children to practice reading three letter words and sight words within the context of a short “search and find” story! These little print and fold booklets are great for helping children focus on comprehension skills at a very basic level, because they must read the words and then find the pictures that match each one. So rather than reading a single word and finding the matching picture, children must read a sentence or two, try to understand it, and then think about what they have read.
CVC Vol. 1 includes: 15 pages, 7 word family books
CVC Vol. 2 includes: 23 pages for 10 word family books

You can choose from our individual titles (like a single DVD) for as little as $.99 a month, our 175 High-Frequency Sight Word songs in either Classic or Animated style for only $5.99 a month, or EVERY HeidiSongs Video ever, including 496 original teaching songs for a low monthly subscription of $9.99!
We’re still offering our great selections on Vimeo On-Demand, but current subscribers can get 100% credit toward any of these our UScreen subscriptions, just email us with your Vimeo Customer number (userXXXXXXXX) and we’ll send you a discount code to apply to your new UScreen membership! No need to cancel Vimeo, try both side-by-side for the ultimate test and you can decide which you prefer for yourself!
Want to know more about UScreen? We’re even giving you a FREE 30 Day Test Subscription to check it all out!
No DVD drive in your computer? Many computers no longer have built in drives, but an inexpensive external drive will get you up and running again! Check out one of these drives that utilize a simple USB connection from Amazon.
Need to embed movies into PowerPoint or Smartboard workbooks? Or do you have a bad internet connection that is not being updated for the coming year? We have USB drive options available, so please email us for more details or a quote.
Still prefer to use Vimeo On Demand? Many of our customers have been happy with our Vimeo streaming options, that offer a 12 month rental for as little as $6.99 a year. One nagging issue with Vimeo streaming is that all the songs are combined in a single movie, and finding individual songs can be a challenge. The Vimeo player app allows you to scroll along the timeline to find the song you want, and we’ve added timecode tags to help find each song, but it’s not ideal for some teachers! Vimeo has not updated it’s services to improve this situation, so we are recommending UScreen for ease of use in the classroom! Even so, we've had wonderful feedback from our Vimeo customers, so you might want to check it out to compare features for yourself.
