Initial Phonic Code Units 1 -10 Book 2 (set 'a Mat')

The Dandelion Readers are a series of decodable phonics based texts based on the progression of the Sounds-Write reading and spelling programme. They are primarily for Reception/year 1 children. The books have a step by step progression and can be used alongside any phonic programme.

Each text is controlled by the phonemic focus in the book and enables the child to practise blending and reading independently at every stage. The texts are not based on repetitive sentences, thus ensuring the readers practise blending the sounds through the word.

Set 2 contains units 1 to 10, 'A Mat'. Units 1-7 introduce the basic sounds of the alphabet and can be used to launch children into reading. Units 8, 9 and 10 introduce the adjacent consonants. With this set children can achieve success from the very first book which only has five sounds.
