Yay! It’s another set of free printable phonics books! Set 16 focuses on ed and ing words.

Have you see our free phonics books?
Each set focuses on a particular phonics pattern or group of patterns.
Set 16 is all about reading words with the ed and ing endings. We’ve had ed and ing books before, but those were word family books (bed, red, wed; sing, ring thing). This set is all about the suffixes.
You’ll find six books in the download.
- Base word + ed (locked, dressed, mixed, spilled, waited, cracked)
- E-drop + ed (raked, raised, raced, waved, baked, chased)
- Double final consonant + ed (stopped, ripped, stirred, shopped, begged, shredded)
- Base word + ing (sweeping, shouting, spraying, cleaning, dusting, holding)
- E-drop + ing (riding, biting, racing, driving, shaking, smiling)
- Double final consonant + ed (sitting, running, dropping, trimming, hitting, sitting)
Here’s a sample book! This is the “e-drop + ing” book.
For each new word, I’ve highlighted two parts. The “ing” ending is green, and the phonics pattern we’ve learned previously is orange. In this book (where the e is dropped before adding ing), that pattern is a little harder to notice that in some of the other books.
Yes, I know… these aren’t actual stories. But don’t worry — the funny pictures will keep your child engaged!
One thing I love about these sets is that they move at a manageable pace. As early readers, my kids were frustrated by purchased phonics books that accelerated far too quickly. Since these books have only a sentence per page, your child can really focus on the new pattern.
Sometimes you’ll see a longer sentence. On this page your child can review previously learned patterns: ir as in girl, ust as in dust, er as in her, and oy as in toy.
Finally, your child can re-read all the new words he’s learned.
How to print and assemble:
- Print pages 2-25 front to back (page 1 is my Terms of Use). I like to use light cardstock to make the books durable.
- Separate the stack into each individual book. Each book consists of two pages front to back.
- Cut across the horizontal center of the pages.
- Insert the pages into each other, using the page numbers as a guide.
- Staple with a long arm stapler.

Hi Anna G,
This material is such a blessing to me. I almost finish my Educational degree and I was nervous about my student-teaching time. I already subscribed to your blog and I feel more confident about it. It is just what I need to have in my small library.
Thank you very much.

So glad I didn’t print all 33 pages! I don’t have a printer that prints on both sides! I tried gluing the pages but that was a hot mess. Do you have other books that are meant for 1 sided printers?
Anna G
My free phonics readers are all meant to be printed two-sided. You could print one side and then turn the pages over and reinsert into your printer for backside printing. But that would require you to think carefully about which pages you’ve printed so you enter the correct pages for the other side.
