It is night. They wait. They may have to fight. This is the job that they do. Night Combat is a low level phonics reading book. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 453-word fiction story features a fully decodable text, suitable for struggling teen and adult readers.

Night Combat 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.)

Night Combat 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.
