Thanks to Martin for the prompting Margit and I have been working on some more Phonics Stories for you.
This next one is for use after the current phonics stories and the “igh” lesson and it is still in beta test form i.e. it should be OK but there might be some mistakes still so please let us know if you find any!
For example when writing a phonics story it has to:
- Use only the phonemes/graphemes used so far.
- Kids understand all the words (i.e. they are covered in the curriculum) unless…
- All the words not in the curriculum we have to introduce with illustrations here. (There are quite a few this time!)
- Any “funky words” i.e. words you can’t read with phonics either have to be introduced here or have been used in previous stories.
- It’s got to have something fun in the story. 🙂
As you can see it’s quite a bit of work.
So if you’re up to “igh” in your Genki Phonics and want to try it and help us check how it works then here you go!
Ninja Tip: When showing parents the power of the phonics programme, the “igh” page is always the one that impresses the most!
Would you like us to continue with the rest of the stories? Do let us know in the comments!
P.S. Obviously your kids have to be at least this far in the Genki Phonics curriculum in order to do this page! 🙂

I love this phonics story. Please make lots more!! 🙂
Ha! When reading the question at the end to who will win this fight, I automatically thought to myself, the sun of course! Love the response:) Keep them coming!
Great job! We JUST did “igh” in the class I am having tonight LAST class. Maybe I can print these off before class today and we can read this story before we move on to “oa”.
The “igh” lesson is definitely a stunner for everyone. Just getting going with two-letter sounds and then BAM THREE LETTERS!!!
This is great! Great illustrations, too.
Also, doesn’t appear to have any mistakes. Hopefully you can get this inserted into the Workbook PDF and the Poster PDF soon. I’m not sure how to insert a new page into a PDF. Let me know how to do that and I could certainly rearrange this poster page into the appropriate landscape workbook style! Looking forward to more stories…though it is a nice break here as I’m winding down the semester with this class to just cover the sound, writing, dictation, and just reading some words. Leaves more time for extra work with the Genki English (and playing some ONE CARD LEFT).
Oh no! When I click on the image to hopefully go to the PDF form, I get an error telling me to contact you about finding an error. Something isn’t working!
Thanks Martin! Just fixed the link now! 🙂
Hello Richard.I don’t get anything.Something is n’t right.
We don’t seem to be having much luck with this one do we Manizheh!
I just checked the links and they look OK, what error are you getting?
Any chance of getting this in landscape?
Funnily enough I just added it yesterday, it’s on the main phonics page now (along with another new story!)

Hello everyone,
A few months ago I moved back to the U.S. after 28 years of living Europe… And haven’t been working. Need time to adjust to a new life here… I was looking though the “ight” story which by the way is great! My only problem is the pronoun “she” used instead of “it” at the end of the story “who will win the fight?” The flashlight will win.
Should read “It will win” a flashlight is an object not a person!!!
In my opinion it’s a big grammar mistake!

Ps: I’m in north San diego county… Would love to get in contact with anyone using Genkienglish in this area!
Hi Nena, there’s a long tradition of naming objects “she” and it just sounded much better in this story! 🙂
Enjoy the US!! 🙂
Hi Richard,
This phonics story is fantastic and I think it would be brillant to get more of them because they would be really helpful to use in classes for my primary students. Please let me know as soon as more of them are available.
Kind regards, Sabine
