AlbakiReads Editorial

A story-based introduction to the FLOSS rule

Letters F, L, S, and Z take on the work of building words in this phonics tale, which shifts from familiar CVC words to a spelling pattern involving doubled final letters. The book introduces the FLOSS rule for one-syllable words with a short vowel, and its described use spans read-alouds and literacy lessons before, during, or after instruction. The focus is narrow and practical: connecting a memorable letter adventure with a specific word-building concept.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Elementary students who have learned short-vowel CVC words and are beginning the FLOSS rule.
  • Adults seeking a read-aloud or teaching aid for introducing this spelling pattern.
  • Literacy learners interested in phonics and word building.

Book overview

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.
