Phonics Book Bag Readers

Our new Phonics Book Bag Readers series has been designed to support children’s phonic knowledge and early reading skills at home.

Brand new for 2021, the series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive stories, accompanied by bright and contemporary illustrations that will engage and inspire young readers.

Each decodable book has been carefully crafted to help children to build on their secure phonic knowledge, moving confidently from decoding words to reading fluently and for pleasure.

• Learning is supported by humorous and fun illustrations and children will love searching for the hidden characters throughout the books!

• Each book also contains parent’s notes and a ‘retell the story’ activity to support children’s comprehension and vocabulary skills.
