Phonics Bundle: R-Vowels + Syllables

Save with this bundle: R-Controlled Vowels + Syllable Division, two Orton-Gillingham aligned phonics packs in one download.

This bundle brings together two connected resources from the Bright Blends structured phonics series, reflecting a genuine Orton-Gillingham teaching sequence built on 20 years of elementary and early years teaching experience. Rather than purchasing these as standalone resources, this bundle lets you access both packs together at a reduced price, with the same consistent format, branding, and teaching approach throughout.

The two included resources are designed to be taught in sequence. R-Controlled Vowels covers all five r-controlled vowel patterns (ar, or, er, ir, ur), beginning with the most distinct patterns (ar, or) before grouping er, ir, and ur together as a “same sound, three spellings” set — the exact grouping that causes the most spelling confusion for students and therefore benefits most from explicit, side-by-side instruction. Syllable Division then builds directly on that foundation, teaching all six syllable types and the division rules (VC/CV, V/CV, VC/V, and consonant-le) that let students decode multisyllabic words with confidence rather than guesswork.

Each pack in this bundle includes:

A teacher explainer page with a clear, suggested teaching sequence specific to that skill
Reference or sound cards appropriate to the topic
Word lists organised by pattern, sequenced from simple to more complex
10 decodable sentences built entirely from taught vocabulary
A full decodable passage with comprehension questions
A progress-check assessment with a hands-on sorting or marking activity
Complete, ready-to-mark answer keys

This bundle is ideal for phonics intervention programmes, small-group reading instruction, 1:1 tutoring, SEN and dyslexia support, or home education settings that need a structured, sequential approach to phonics rather than a collection of disconnected worksheets. Both resources print cleanly in black and white, with no reliance on colour ink, and are formatted for immediate printing and classroom or tutoring use.

Buying this bundle saves you money compared to purchasing the R-Controlled Vowels and Syllable Division packs separately, while ensuring you have a connected, two-step sequence ready to deliver as soon as you download it. It’s a practical option for tutors, intervention specialists, and teachers setting up a structured literacy library who want consistency across resources rather than piecing together materials from multiple different sources and styles.
