Why choose these readers?

My Letters and Sounds Phonics Readers are engaging, fully decodable stories that are ideal for teaching Letters and Sounds phonics. A variety of attractive and contemporary illustration styles give the books the feel of real, high-quality picture books that children want to pick up and read.

Written in natural language with plenty of humour, the story texts focus on themes and experiences that will appeal to young children from a variety of different backgrounds.

Only a small number of new grapheme-phoneme correspondences are introduced in each book, allowing teachers to select exactly the right book for each child’s current reading level from the very earliest stages of learning to read.

Vibrant illustrations in a range of styles closely match each story.

See the phonics coverage of each book on pages 8–14.

Each book is written in natural language and focuses on themes and experiences that will appeal to young children.

How to find the right readers

If you are looking to supplement your current decodable readers, we recommend using the My Letters and Sounds Readers Phonics Coverage Chart to choose your books. This will help you assess how closely these readers match your school’s phonics programme in terms of the progression of grapheme-phoneme correspondences (GCPs) and tricky words.

You can find the Readers Phonics Coverage Chart on the Schofield & Sims website or by scanning the QR code below.

What does fidelity mean in phonics?

View coverage charts

Whilst the Department for Education recommends schools take an approach to teaching phonics that is both rigorous and systematic, they do not say that you have to use all resources from a single scheme. Instead, fidelity means that your phonics resources should exactly match the GPCs in the order that you are teaching them. You can use different decodable readers and teaching resources so long as they match your progression and your approach is achieving strong results for all pupils.

Phase Three Readers

Non-fiction stories in My Letters and Sounds

Non-fiction books appear from Phase Three of My Letters and Sounds, where they consist of narrative non-fiction texts that combine fictional storytelling with real-life events. These books help to develop children’s reading-for-information skills and provide a gentle introduction to non-fiction text devices, such as captions and labels. In Phase Five, non-fiction texts are broadened out to also include information non-fiction and instructional non-fiction stories, which feature a wider variety of text devices, such as simple charts and diagrams.
