Decodable Reader - Letter Sound Non-Fiction Phase

The Decodable Reader - Letter Sound Non-Fiction Phase 2 set introduces early readers to letter sounds in a non-fiction context, offering students a deeper understanding of phonemes through engaging real-life subjects. This set includes 12 non-fiction readers, each featuring clear photographic images that help children connect the sounds they are learning with the world around them. The readers focus on the first 21 letter sounds, with decodable words that follow a controlled progression, making it easier for students to master the basics of phonics. These readers are perfect for helping young learners move from phonics practice to comprehension, as they learn about animals, nature, and everyday objects while reinforcing their phonemic awareness.
