oa Decodable Reading Book Level 1: 35

This oa decodable reading book can help children develop reading fluency.

It is part of a series of highly structured decodable reading books with controlled vocab; all vocab is decodable using phonic knowledge the child already has (if read in sequence) and true irregular sight words are only slowly and gradually introduced. These books can help children develop reading fluency, providing sequential decodable reading passages that practice previously taught phonic sounds while introducing new ones. Together they form a highly structured phonic reading scheme and should be read in order. the previous books can all be found in the Lilibette's Resources store.

They follow on from our previous sets of:

CVC Reading Books with matching workbooks

Consonant Blends Reading Books with matching workbooks

Level 1 Red Books. with matching workbooks

These books are best read in sequence.

This book contains words with the following sounds: ck, oo, ee, sh, ch, th, ng, ing, ar, or, a-e, i-e and u-e, ai, ea and oa.

I created these phonic readers as I saw the huge need for highly structured, fun-to-read, early-reading books.

They are very popular. I am an Early Years Specialist Teacher (B. Ed) who is currently tutoring children with profound special needs in reading and writing following over 30 years of teaching phonics.

Main features:

• •The Level 1 readers gently introduce sight words, but only those that cannot be learned in a phonetic family, or will be needed before the family has been studied.

• •All the other words can be sounded out using the necessary phonic knowledge.

• Pictures do not encourage guessing

• •Each book tries to tell a simple story.

• •Each book has been tested on children with severe special needs and those with none – all have loved them as they can read them!

• •The books should be read in order

Who can use these reading books?

• All beginner readers of any age and ability

• Struggling readers of all ages and abilities, including special needs pupils with severe dyslexia/other processing difficulties

• Teachers, parents, classroom assistants, private tutors - anyone who needs them!

Are these phonic reading books and workbooks aligned with the UK Gov requirements or LETRS?

Yes - totally. Though not part of an approved programme they are based on synthetic, very systematic phonics. They are highly structured, repeating vocabulary, introducing sight words slowly and introducing a-e words while practising those listed above that have been learned before.

How long are the books?

The reading books are either 8 or 12 pages long.

Why are these books FREE when other people's books cost so much? Are they of lesser quality?

They are free as I regard the ability to read as being a fundamental right of every living person. Why should some miss out on top-quality resources because they cannot pay for them?

In terms of content, they are top quality, carefully planned and sequenced with the aim of helping as many children as possible get started on the phonic road to reading.
