Vowel Sounds Decodable Readers + Teacher Planner

The Vowel Sounds Decodable Readers and Teacher Planner Kit is designed to support phonics development through targeted instruction in vowel sounds, sound families, and suffixes. Ideal for Year 1 and beyond, this resource is equally valuable for older students requiring additional phonics support. The included decodable readers are carefully levelled and include both fiction and non-fiction titles, as well as diversity-themed and science-based texts, ensuring broad appeal and engagement.
