Paperback
(Phonic Books Ltd, Jan. 1, 2015)
This series is a set of 10 decodable reading books. High interest quest stories with fabulous illustrations and fully controlled text, this series is for older, reluctant readers with gaps in their phonic knowledge. This series introduces alternative spellings for the sounds ‘ae, ee, oe, er, ow, oi, oo, ie, or, air, ar’. It has the same phonic progression as the Talisman 1 series and can be used in parallel. The text in these books is controlled so that the reader can decode every book independently as she/he expands her/his phonic knowledge and can read a growing number of words. This series is particularly suited for girls, though boys will also enjoy reading it. It has a strong, smart and able female character. This conveys a positive empowering message to girls struggling with reading. The contemporary illustrations and storyline will appeal to both girls and boys. Interest age: 8-14. Reading level: grade 2.
