The Decodable Readers Phonemic Awareness Fiction Kit is designed to introduce early readers to eight foundational phonemes through engaging and colourful stories. This kit includes 72 fiction readers in total—six copies of 12 titles—ideal for guided reading groups or classroom sets. Each reader uses decodable vocabulary to build phonemic awareness while supporting oral blending and segmenting. Teachers can model the pronunciation of each letter sound as students listen, identify, and explore how sounds form the basis of words. The narratives are supported by vibrant illustrations that help readers link spoken sounds with visual cues. Aligned to Book Band Emergent (Pink), these readers provide a strong start for students beginning their phonics journey.
