In the story, “A Nap in a Pan”, ask students if they notice a pattern by looking at the colors in the words.  In each line, the beginning and ending sounds of the decodable words have been switched, so that the word “nap” becomes “pan”, “tap,” becomes “pat”, etc. This is a good example of manipulating phonograms in written words to develop reading skills.  I have also included a chart of red words used so far for review.
