PLD’s Year 1 Decodable Reading Books
PLD’s Decodable Reading Books are designed for children being taught to read using Structured Synthetic Phonics (SSP). These books present phonics and high-frequency words in a sequential order, enabling early readers to apply the phonics they are learning in the classroom to their reading practise.
Authored by speech pathologists, PLD Decodable Reading Books are aligned with the Science of Reading and help students to build the right reading strategies. They necessitate the utilisation of decoding skills rather than guessing what the words say based on pictures or guessing from other cues.
PLD’s Year 1 Decodable Reading Books comprises Sets 7 – 10. Set 7 completes the initial code, with single sounds, blends and initial vowel and consonant digraphs. Sets 8, 9 & 10 then move into the extended code and include vowel and consonant digraphs.
Each fiction book showcases beautiful photography from an Australia location, along with facts and information about that area.
