Little Sounds, Big Reading Adventures!

Make learning to read exciting with My First Phonics Book — Short O, the fourth workbook in the Little Wonder Academy Phonics Series.

Created by an educator with 45 years of teaching experience, including special education, early childhood instruction, and college teaching, this colorful workbook introduces beginning readers to the short O vowel sound through structured, engaging activities.

Our signature four-step approach helps children build essential phonics, handwriting, and early reading skills.

What's Inside?

1. SAY IT — Discover the Short O Sound

Children explore the short O sound, as heard in octopus, ox, and on, through colorful illustrations, sound recognition, and guided learning activities.

2. TRACE IT — Practice Writing

Develop handwriting and fine-motor skills by tracing uppercase O, lowercase o, letter combinations, and simple words.

3. BLEND IT — Put Sounds Together

Children practice blending consonants with the short O sound, progressing to three-letter words such as:

dog • log • fog • hop • top • mop • pot • hot

These activities help children recognize beginning, middle, and ending sounds while strengthening word-decoding skills.

4. READ IT — Read Words and Sentences

Children apply their phonics skills by reading simple words and sentences.

Examples include:

• The dog can hop.
• The pot is hot.
• The dog is on the log.
• Tom has a mop.
