Decodable Reader - Blends Non-Fict Ph 4 Set 2

The Blends Non-Fiction Decodable Readers set is an essential resource for early readers focusing on the mastery of adjacent consonants, or blends. This set introduces 38 different blends, providing young learners with a structured approach to understanding complex phonics patterns. Each of the 12 non-fiction readers in the set uses only decodable regular words, carefully aligned with the week-by-week progression of phonics skills. Tricky words are introduced gradually, once students are ready for them, ensuring that learners are exposed only to words they can decode at each stage. The readers are paired with clear photographic images, helping to contextualise the text and engage students with real-world information. These books are designed to be both informative and accessible, making them ideal for students in the Early 2 (Yellow) book band, with a guided reading level of C-D and reading level of 4-6. With a focus on phonics and vocabulary consolidation, this set ensures that students build confidence and fluency in their reading as they master adjacent consonant blends. It's an excellent resource for educators looking to reinforce phonics skills while providing children with real-world knowledge through engaging non-fiction texts.
