Decodable Readers- Non-Fiction Library

The Decodable Readers: Non-Fiction Library offers an engaging and structured way for children to build early reading confidence through factual content. These readers follow the Letters and Sounds phonics progression on a week-by-week, letter-by-letter basis, allowing children to consolidate their knowledge in a carefully sequenced order. Each title uses a strictly controlled text to introduce only the letter sounds previously taught, and tricky words are only included after they have been explicitly introduced, ensuring learners aren't overwhelmed. With a focus on non-fiction, this collection is especially effective for learners interested in real-world topics-often appealing strongly to boys. Full-colour photography supports comprehension and adds visual interest. The set includes 72 unique reader titles, with 12 books allocated per phase level, covering Phases 1 through 6. Each reader is aligned to book band levels for easy integration with other reading schemes, making this an ideal resource for both home and classroom use.
