Oak Trees Decodable Reading Book for Guided Reading

A first decodable, informational, phonic reader about oak trees for those just taking off in reading.

A simple 8-page book for the young child, or an older one with special needs.

This book may contain 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.

It can be enjoyed by any child who knows these phonic sounds.

It is also part of the Reading Made Simple reading scheme.

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:

• New vocabulary is repeated to aid fluency and build word recognition

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

• Pictures do not encourage guessing

• 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 PowerPoint has a useful shield to block off text until it is ready to be revealed and a marker to run under the text.

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.
