Decodable Readers - Spelling Fiction Phase 6

The Decodable Readers - Spelling Fiction Phase 6 set helps consolidate the phonics skills children have learned so far, focusing on spelling patterns and common suffixes. This set includes 12 engaging fiction readers that feature a rich vocabulary with embedded words containing suffixes such as œ-ing, œ-ed, œ-ful, and œ-ly. These readers are written with a controlled vocabulary that allows students to practise decoding words with these common affixes, which are key to expanding their reading and spelling abilities.
