There is nothing better than seeing a child discover the joy of reading. These delightful stories are decodable meaning children use their new knowledge of letters and sounds to decode the text.
Stage 6 Learning Focus:
Reading words containing the consonant digraphs sh (as in ship and crush), ch (as in chin and rich), ng (as in bring), th (as in this, think and Seth), ph (as in phonics), wh (as in which) and trigraph tch (as in catch).
Reading multi-syllable words.
There are small number of Heart words included in each book. These are words that children cannot decode (sound out) yet, so they need to learn any tricky bits off by heart. Read more about heart words here.
