Sound Waves Decodable Reader features a focus phoneme–grapheme relationship. Every book has been expertly written to frequently include the focus phoneme–grapheme relationship, while still maintaining a clever and captivating storyline.
This series is available in three levels of difficulty so you can provide a positive and successful reading experience for your whole class. For every focus grapheme covered in the sequence there is a support, core or extended title to choose from.
- Support books are suited to students who need to build confidence with their reading and would benefit from starting with simpler, shorter texts.
- Core books are ideal for the majority of students who can comfortably apply their new phoneme–grapheme knowledge to reading.
- Extended books are suited to more advanced students who need more complex texts to maintain their motivation and engagement.
Students will enjoy reading books that feature an eclectic range of themes – from animals and the environment, to emotions and fantasy! Best of all, the books feature current Australian settings and themes that are intended to be relatable for students.
What’s more, our Decodable Readers feature a diverse range of ages, ethnicities and family structures.
Collectively, we hope these diverse themes make for an enjoyable and meaningful reading experience for students.
From start to finish, the reading experience has been considered every step of the way.
The Warm Up section introduces students to words that include the focus phoneme–grapheme relationship featured in the book. This allows students to practise reading words in isolation before attempting to read the words in the text.
The Book Chat questions provide discussion prompts to encourage students to engage with and reflect on what they are reading.
Plus there are handy tips for helping students during the reading process.
