This title is part of a set of phonically decodable reading
books perfect for very early readers. These expertly levelled
non-fiction books are engaging and follow one of the most
commonly used validated SSPs in primary schools.

The artwork and photographs are detailed so as not to provide
picture cues and prompting. Each book also contains parent’s notes
and a ‘talk about it’ task to support children’s oracy,
vocabulary and comprehension skills. Thirteen sets of non-fiction
books covering groups of sounds to allow for progression.

Scholastic considers these books suitable for children learning
using the Wandle Learning Trust’s Little Wandle Letters and Sounds
Revised phonics programme. Scholastic is not part of Wandle Learning
Trust, nor are our products approved for use with the Little
Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised phonics programme by the Wandle
Learning Trust.

Set 09 and revise the sounds found in previous sets. There are thirteen
