Decodable Stories
Join the Get Reading Right kids as they go on decodable adventures… troublesome cats and dogs, the quest to find the Shelduck ducklings, jazz band try-out and a mischievous elf!
The Practice Books have helped to ensure children are confident with their synthetic phonics skills – now children use these automatic phonics skills to read a story and extend comprehension.
Take a look at the Series One, Series Two and Series Three sample pages (when the PDFs open - zoom in) and see how these lively and fun stories include:
- A great narrative from the very first story - give children practice in reading short texts from the earliest stage

- The same sequence as The Synthetic Phonics Toolkit and the Practice Books
- Only 100% decodable or camera words (irregular, high frequency words) so children can get lots of success
- Questions for discussion, covering the early comprehension skills of: creating sensory images, inference, background knowledge and vocabulary expansion
- Clear parent instructions, how to: pronounce the phonemes, help when a child gets stuck and practice spelling and comprehension skills
- Perfect for guided reading groups
