Compost heaps may look boring, but astounding things happen inside them! The Schofield & Sims My Letters and Sounds Phonics Readers are carefully levelled, fully decodable stories that build a solid foundation in early word reading. Only a small number of new grapheme-phoneme correspondences are introduced in each book, allowing teachers to select exactly the right book for each child's current reading level, from the very earliest stages of learning to read. A summary of the phonics coverage in each Reader can be found in the My Letters and Sounds Readers Phonics Coverage Chart. Engaging story texts and appealing illustrations provide rich stimulus for discussion of child-friendly topics, supporting the development of children's language and vocabulary skills. The inside front and back covers feature useful tips, notes and activities to support reading at home as well as comprehension questions to check children's understanding.
