Notes for Parents: These readers use a structured sequence based on the Letters and Sounds phonic progression. The text only uses decodable regular words and tricky words (frequently used words not decodable at this phase).
If your child is stuck on a word say: ‘The sound is _, ’ or, ‘The sounds are _ _ _ ,’ If the reader still struggles, provide the word and carry on. Use pure sounds (e.g. ‘p’ - ‘a’ - ‘t’ not ‘puh’ - ‘a’ - ‘tuh’).
