Heart Word Mini Books Set #1 | Aligned to the UFLI Scope & Sequence

Looking for an engaging way to give students repeated practice reading and writing heart words? These UFLI-aligned heart word mini books help Kindergarten students learn irregular high-frequency words through explicit instruction, word recognition, handwriting practice and decodable reading.

Try before you buy! Download the preview to try the complete “a” heart word mini book for free.

 


 

This first set aligns with UFLI Foundations lessons 1–17 and includes mini books for these 10 heart words:

  • the
  • I
  • and
  • a
  • is
  • as
  • said
  • to
  • do
  • of

 


 

Each heart word mini book includes:

✔ Cover page
✔ Say It, Tap It and Heart It practice
✔ Explicit identification of the irregular part of the word
✔ Three trace-and-write options
✔ Handwriting-line and no-line writing options
✔ Find-and-circle word recognition practice
✔ Decodable sentence practice when appropriate
✔ Read-and-match picture comprehension page
✔ Read-and-illustrate comprehension page

The books for the, I and and do not include a sentence-reading page because students have not yet learned enough letter sounds to independently decode an appropriate sentence at that point in the sequence.

 


 

Skills practised:

✔ Heart word recognition
✔ High-frequency word reading
✔ Irregular word mapping
✔ Phoneme-grapheme connections
✔ Phonemic awareness
✔ Word reading automaticity
✔ Letter formation and handwriting
✔ Visual discrimination
✔ Reading decodable sentences
✔ Reading comprehension

 


 

Perfect for:

✔ Kindergarten literacy centres
✔ Heart word practice
✔ Sight word centres
✔ Phonics instruction
✔ Small-group literacy instruction
✔ Guided reading groups
✔ Independent word work
✔ Intervention and additional practice
✔ Take-home literacy practice

 


 

Why teachers love these books:

✔ Aligns with the order of heart words introduced in UFLI Foundations lessons 1–17
✔ Provides repeated practice with each word in several different formats
✔ Includes multiple writing and response options for easy differentiation
✔ Moves from explicit word study to connected-text reading
✔ Can be introduced gradually as each heart word is taught
✔ Gives students a familiar, predictable format they can complete independently


 

What’s included:

✔ 10 printable heart word mini books
✔ 81-page printable PDF
✔ Multiple differentiated page options
✔ Two sentence-page options for the word as
✔ A complete a mini book in the downloadable preview

Please note: The mini book for as includes two sentence-reading options. One option contains the CVCC word fast, which is introduced later in the UFLI sequence. Choose the version that best fits your students’ decoding skills and classroom needs.

 


 

These mini books work well in a literacy or writing centre after each heart word has been explicitly introduced. They can also be used during small-group instruction with students who would benefit from additional practice.
