These Phonics Readers give children the satisfaction of reading whole books as soon as they know a few letter sounds. The imaginative, decodable stories gradually introduce new phonic elements (in s, a, t, p, i, n order) and build on the vocabulary from previous stories in a clear and measurable progression. The 8 books contain a total of 30 engaging stories that children can use to decode the 26 most regular alphabet sounds, as well as blended sounds, the digraph ng and some 'tricky' high-frequency words
