This Complete Set provides three groups of stories (six books in each group) about the antics of Inky Mouse and Friends, non-fiction (Phonic's Fantastic Facts), and general fiction stories (Snake's Amazing Tales). The Jolly Phonics Decodable Readers are colorful and engaging. These leveled practice readers use decodable regular words (words that are made from the 42 letter sounds) and a small number of tricky words (frequently used words that are not fully decodable yet). Level 1 & 2 Readers complement the material being taught in the Jolly Phonics program.
Each book begins with a review of sounds plus a listing of the tricky words. Each story concludes with comprehension questions that focus on "What was in the book?" and "What do you think?"
The first of four levels of decodable books, providing the best start for children just starting to read.
At every stage the words are within the reach of children as they use their letter sound knowledge and tricky words already taught.
Tricky words are shown at the beginning of each book. Comprehension questions and discussion topics are provided at the end of each book. Also includes guidance for teachers and parents.Light type is used as a guide for those few letters that should not be sounded out, such as the /b/ in lamb.
Level 1 features words that are spelled regularly, and can be sounded out with the 42 letter sounds first taught in Jolly Phonics.
Energetically colorful, the Level 1 (red) Readers coordinate with the phonics skills taught in Student Book 1.
The Level 1 Complete Set provides 18 small individual books/stories while each Reader has the same stories with six stories per book. The Level 1 Readers each provide a particular type of story (six tales per Reader): the fictional antics of Inky Mouse and Friends, non-fiction (Phonics' Fantastic Facts), and general, often familiar, fiction stories (Snake's Amazing Tales). The Level 1 Set includes these three Readers.
I teach Kindergarten and needed a good set of decodable readers. These were recommended by a friend.
I was very concerned about my child's inability to read and therefore sought answers to improve her reading skills and the Jolly Phonics series came highly recommended.
