Guest Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 We're looking to buy some new reading books and would like some that link in with phase 2 of letters and sounds, both the sounds taught and the tricky words. Can anybody recommend any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyfs1966 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) There's loads of stuff out there, but I am just trialling the dandelion readers range (put into google and you should get some links). Can't recommend these as yet, as very early days (first week) but worth a look. Edited September 17, 2010 by eyfs1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluj Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The Songbirds Phonics series is great. It has a good link with the Letters and Sounds progression and the stories and pictures are fun. I have the Dandelion Readers as well. I find the stories pretty tedious and they haven't inspired the children or the parents. luluj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Rigby Star phonics claim to be the first reading scheme "matched" to Letters & Sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmileyPR Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I use Songbird Phonics. The children love it and the progress is great. The only thing is that they follow the previous "Playing with Sounds" order. I think once can just start with words and captions until the letters covered in the first books are covered. It is worth it. I did have the Rigby Star Phonics in my hands when Pearsons came to our school, but I really did not like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
