Decodable Books and Teacher Books for Years F-2
Comprehensive Australian series with 180 sensical, enjoyable stories using words that children can read! The Sunshine Phonics Decodable program teaches children phonics skills in a sequential and systematic way so that they can learn the sounds (phonemes) and the letters that represent them (graphemes) and then practise and apply this knowledge through reading a text that makes sense. This ensures that every beginning reader will experience success from their very first book.
Our core program for years F-2 features:
- Fully decodable texts closely aligned to Letters and Sounds
- 180 enjoyable texts – both fiction and non-fiction
- Systematic progression for learning the sounds (phonemes) and the letters that represent them (graphemes)
- Full-colour illustrations or photography to support meaning
- Comprehensive Teachers’ Books that include lesson plans, activity sheets and assessment
The print program is arranged over two Series – Series 1 and Series 2. Both Series follow a virtually identical teaching sequence, with the difference being that Series 1 contains 70 reading books with 2 Teachers Books, and Series 2 takes a slightly slower approach and comprises 110 reading books and 3 Teachers’ Books.
