Set 12 contains 10 chapter books, each structured into manageable chapters. With roughly 600–800 words per chapter, they provide an ideal daily 10–20 minute reading block designed to sustain a full week of reading practise.
Each book introduces specific new phonic concepts and carefully selected high-frequency words, giving students plenty of opportunity to practise new concepts while simultaneously consolidating previously learned concepts to prevent knowledge gaps.
Set 12 Phonic Concepts
/s/ as ce, se, /z/ as se, ze, /j/ as ge, dg, dge, igh, tch, /air/ as air, are, ear, /short oo/ oul, /long oo/ as o, /schwa/ as or
Key Features
Before-Reading Practise: Every chapter opens with a dedicated warm-up section covering the target phonic concepts and providing opportunity to practise tricky and high-frequency words before starting to read.
Rich Oral Language: Every chapter finishes by introducing new vocabulary, before providing literal and inferential discussion questions from that chapter to strengthen comprehension, and facilitate oral language building.
Extended Learning: Each book concludes with further activities designed to reinforce the specific phonics focus of the text.
