Publisher's Synopsis
Reading Stars Phonics Phase 3 Pack contains a complete set of reading books to support Phase 3 of a phonics programme where children are actually able to start reading. In total there are 44 books. It contains both fiction and non-fiction titles, on a range of topics and text types. These books correspond to Phase 3 of the Letters and Sounds programme, which is the UK government's benchmark for learning English language. The words are all decodable which means they are made up of phonics that children can put together to decode the word.There are two stages of books: The first stage is 19 'build' title that gradually cover the sets of GPCs and CEWs met in this phase. These books do not cover anything that the child will not have met before. The second stage is 25 'practice' titles that draw on everything met in Phase 3. Some of these titles focus on specific GPScs and CEWs by including lots of occurrences of them - they are ideal for providing targeted reading practice for children who are still not secure with certain letters and sounds. Together this pack of books offers a structured way of developing children's progression in reading. These books are part of Ransom's Reading Stars Phonics series: 225 fully decodable phonics readers that offer progression on a week-by-week basis. Fiction and non-fiction as well as a variety of text types all supported by beautiful illustrations and photographs. Diverse stories and characters that ensure that every child has the chance to 'find' themselves in the pages of the books. The variety of books needed (easier, harder, longer, shorter) to cater for all abilities and attitudes. Real and rewarding reading experiences - the limitations of decodable language do not get in the way of quality books that foster a love of reading.
