This booklet contains 20 pages in color and 20 pages in black and white.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Curamus School for Autism for their support and invaluable assistance with the design of these booklets.

This booklet is a learning resource designed specifically for neurodiverse learners who are beginning to read simple English sentences. The aim of the booklet is to help children practise early reading skills, sentence recognition and basic vocabulary through short and structured sentences.

The booklet contains 100 simple sentences that children can read. Each sentence is supported by a small picture, which helps learners connect the written words with visual meaning. This approach supports children who learn best through visual cues, repetition and predictable sentence patterns.

The simple sentence structure helps learners build confidence while practicing decoding, word recognition and sentence comprehension.

Sections / Themes included in the booklet

The booklet contains 100 short and easy sentences that focus on familiar words and everyday objects. The sentences gradually expose learners to common sight words and simple phonetic patterns.

1. Short CVC sentences

Many sentences use simple CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) words to support early phonics reading.

Examples include:

• Ben has a cat.

• Mom fed the rat.

• Dad saw a pig.

• Tom got a dog.

• Here is a fox.

These sentences help children practice sounds such as:

• a – cat, rat, pan

• o – dog, fox, log

• i – pig, big, bin

2. Everyday objects and animals

Children read sentences about familiar items and animals, for example:

• I see the duck.

• This is my pet.

• A frog can hop.

• The duck is big.

• Here is the egg.

These sentences help learners connect words, pictures and meaning.

3. Simple action sentences

Some sentences introduce actions and verbs to build understanding of sentence meaning.

Examples include:

• Dad ran to Max.

• Tim ran to help.

• Ben sat still.

• A kid can hop.

• The bug can eat.

4. Descriptive sentences

Children are also introduced to simple descriptive words such as:

• big

• hot

• wet

• red

• fast

Examples include:

• The crab is red.

• The deer is fast.

• This is a big snake.

5. Sentence-picture matching

Each sentence is supported by a visual picture cue which helps learners confirm their understanding of the sentence they read. The final pages continue with simple sentences such as:

• This is a bat.

• The owl can fly.

• The bear ran away.

• A frog is on the log.

• Here is the tap.
