Decodable Readers - Blend Fiction Phase 4

The Decodable Readers - Blend Fiction Phase 4 set introduces 38 different adjacent consonants, or blends, in a series of 12 exciting fiction readers. This set is carefully crafted to help students build their phonics skills with a focus on consonant blends such as œst, œnd, œmp, œnt, and many others. The texts use only decodable words, carefully structured to support the week-by-week phonics progression, alongside tricky words that challenge young readers. Each reader features colourful illustrations that engage students and make learning more enjoyable.
