Part 1: Decodable readers - what are they?

Decodable readers are books designed for children learning to read. These books have controlled vocabulary, with words that only use certain letter sounds and a few tricky words that should have been taught. This enables the children to practise the letter sounds and the blending of new words as they read at home and at school. As new letter sounds are introduced then the next set of readers will have words that use the new letter sounds as well as the previously taught letter sounds. Once a new word has been blended a few times it becomes known. Then blending is only needed for new words that have not been read before. In Steps 3, 4 and 5 the progression used in the Jolly Phonics Readers was clearly demonstrated. You can see here how it progressively builds up using new letter sounds and tricky word knowledge for each of the new levels. (demonstrated) There are different types of decodable readers and it is important to select what is appropriate for the different needs of the children. See Part 2 for other decodable readers.
