Description

These six download-and-print Phonics With Feeling readers are suitable for students in Year 1, or older catch-up learners. The sixth book was added to the set in May 2022. The purchaser may print up to five copies of each book (i.e. 40c per print ex GST). A quiz for each book is included, or use the online Wordwall quizzes.

The books can be used with the Spelfabet Level 3 teaching sequence, Workbook, word-building sequences and/or these playing cards.

The Set Two readers introduce the split digraphs (sometimes called ‘silent final e’, ‘bossy e’ or ‘magic e’). The two letters which represent the long vowel sound are separated by a consonant, examples are mate, these, hive, rose, mule, and June.

These spellings are taught early because the digraphs a-e, o-e, and i-e occur in many commonly used words. However, the split digraphs e-e and u-e occur less frequently, and they are often found in words that are associated with a more advanced lexicon – words like concede, impede, dispute, refute, pollute and include. Learners might therefore need more support when tackling these books, or might like to postpone reading them till later in the set.
