Usborne phonics readers set

The Usborne phonics readers set contains 12 books in which to support your child's learning of synthetic phonics. 

Perfect for children aged 3-5 years old.


What is synthetic phonics?

Most children learn to read through synthetic phonics. There are just over 40 phenomes (sounds) in the English language that blend together to make words. Some if these sounds are made is a single letter such as the 'o' in 'hop' and others are a combination of letters such as the 'ee' in 'sheep'.
 
Synthetic phonics is the process of reading by sounding the individual phenomes in a word and then blending them to make a whole word.

Children who learn to read using the synthetic phonics system start by learning individual phenomes and then learn to blend them together to make words.

Just to complicate matters there are quite a few words that cannot be read by sounding or blending (sometimes called tricky words) and these need to be learned. 'The' and 'was' are examples of tricky words.

These phonics books are designed to be read with your child, encouraging them to  sound out the words as you go and pretty soon they should be sounding out the words by themself.

You get all 12 titles in the set!! At only £15.99 this is fantastic value. (RRP £59.99)

The books are brightly coloured, tell a lovely short tale and have flaps to lift with surprises underneath to keep your child interested.



The text is short, simple and in large print.



I love the bright illustrations in the books.



Each book contains a set of notes for parents explaining about phonics and how to help your child read at home.

The books have all been created with a reading expert and have been written using the very latest research on the most effective ways of teaching reading.

I really cannot express how much of a bargain this set is. They are very high quality books that have had a lot of research put into them. Only £15.99 for 12 books is just fantastic value.
