ABOUT THE SERIES

The series of non fiction phonically decodable reading books is perfect for very early readers. These expertly levelled books are engaging and follow one of the most commonly used validated SSPs in primary schools.

The artwork and photographs are detailed so as not to provide picture cues and prompting. Each book also contains parent’s notes and a ‘talk about it’ task to support children’s oracy, vocabulary and comprehension skills. Thirteen sets of non fiction books covering groups of sounds allow for progression.

Scholastic considers these books suitable for children learning using the Wandle Learning Trust’s Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics programme. Scholastic is not part of Wandle Learning Trust, nor are our products approved for use with the Little Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised phonics programme by the Wandle Learning Trust.

The stories in this Starter Pack focus on the sounds found in Scholastic Sets 7 and 8 and revise the sounds found in previous sets. There are thirteen sets in total, covering:
