Phonics Book Bag Readers Non-fiction: Non-fiction Starter Pack 5 by Suzy Ditchburn (author) and Rachel Russ (author)

A set of 8 non-fiction decodable reading books perfect for very early readers.

100% matched to Little Wandle Letters & Sounds (2021): Phase 5

These expertly levelled books are engaging with the focus sounds clearly shown on the front covers. Each book also contains parent’s notes with guidance on how to help your child to read, including practicing the focus sounds, highhlighting any tricky words they may need assistance with and what to do before, during and after reading the book.

The artwork and photographs are detailed so as not to provide picture cues and prompting and a ‘talk about it’ task supports children’s oracy, vocabulary and comprehension skills.

This starter pack contains the books in Scholastic Set 9 and Scholastic Set 10 of the Phonics Book Bag Readers Non-fiction series (eight books in total).
