Each week delivers structured slides, student activity worksheets, and teacher implementation guides.

Week 4 provides spiral cumulative review across all five short vowels and consonant contrasts. Students demonstrate independence with mixed CVC word ladders, sentence reading fluency, and a sound detective mastery check.
