Decodable Readers - Vowel Sound Non-Fiction Phase

The Decodable Readers - Vowel Sound Non-Fiction Phase is designed to introduce children to 20 new letter patterns focusing primarily on alternative vowel sounds. This kit helps children master sounds like "ay," "ou," "ie," and "oy" by offering texts with strictly controlled vocabulary and a gradual, week-by-week progression. Each book features clear photographic images that enhance understanding and provide visual context, making the learning experience more enjoyable and engaging. The set's non-fiction content provides an exciting opportunity for children to connect their phonics skills to real-world knowledge, supporting their development as fluent readers. As students progress through the books, they encounter increasingly complex vocabulary, helping them build confidence and fluency in both reading and decoding unfamiliar words.
