Science Decodables - Phase 2 Letter Sounds

These Science Decodables Letter Sound Readers are an essential resource for early literacy development, providing young learners with the opportunity to build foundational phonics skills through engaging, decodable texts. Featuring the first 21 letter sounds, these readers are meticulously structured to align with a systematic phonics sequence. The controlled vocabulary ensures that students are only exposed to sounds and words they have already learned, reducing cognitive load and promoting reading success. In addition, the inclusion of ˜tricky words' supports the recognition of high-frequency irregular words, helping students to decode and comprehend with greater confidence. Each book is aligned with Book Band - Early 1 (Red), Guided Reading Levels A-C, and Reading Levels 1-3, making them ideal for early readers progressing through their phonics journey. The books are thoughtfully designed with vibrant illustrations and simple sentence structures to support engagement and comprehension.
