The High Hike
Mike wants to hike to the top. He went by the tall pine trees.
"Is that my pal, Spike?" asked Mike. Spike was on his bike.
Spike said, "I can ride by your side." They saw a white kite in the sky.
They had a fine time on the hike. The sun began to shine.
"Look by the rock!" said Spike. It was a big smile from Mike. It was a great ride!

Heart Words: By & My
"Look at these words: by and my. In a short word like this, the letter y makes the long /ī/ sound. This is a special rule, but for now, we'll learn it as a heart part because it's tricky. Let's tap the sounds: /b/ /ī/ and /m/ /ī/."
REGULAR PART
Consonants 'b' and 'm' represent their expected sounds /b/ and /m/.
HEART PART
'y' represents the long /ī/ sound. We put a heart over the 'y'.
Trail Chain Logic
| Chain | Sequence | Instructional Prompt |
|---|
| 1 | hike → bike → like → line | Change onset, then coda while maintaining 'i_e'. |
| 2 | pine → fine → mine → mile | Focus on initial phoneme changes. |
| 3 | ride → side → wide → wipe | Practice blending onset and rime. |
