The Very Helpful Floss Rule

The letters F, L, S and Z are excited to build new words! After they grow weary of building CVC words, they go an adventure that teaches them about the FLOSS Rule. With the help of a special companion, they learn how to double their letters at the end of one syllable words with a short vowel. This phonics tale is a great teaching aid for elementary students and literacy lovers, alike!

This is best used with students who've learned CVC words with short vowels and are being introduced to the FLOSS rule. This can be used before, during, or after your literacy lessons, or as a read-aloud before explaining the concept of the doubling letters F, L, S or Z at the end of one syllable words with a short vowel.
