Deep in the Dark Woods

Join Nam, Lin and her big, fat, dog Bong for a night in the woods. Deep in the Dark Woods is a low level phonics reading book. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 429-word fiction story features a fully decodable text, suitable for struggling teen and adult readers.

Deep in the Dark Woods uses a carefully limited set of letters and sounds to make up all the words. (For UK schools this relates to Phase 3 of Letters and Sounds, the UK Government’s synthetic phonics reading programme.)

Deep in the Dark Woods is part of Ransom’s Neutron Stars, a structured reading programme for teens and adults learning the basics of reading. The series offers progression through ten levels of reading, four phonics and six coloured book bands.
