Learn how to read with Dandelion Readers decodable books and activities for beginner readers.

Dandelion Readers Set 4 Units 1-10 Reading and Writing Activities are first reader books by Phonic Books which introduce children to a few letters and sounds at a time. This activity book accompanies Dandelion Readers Stages 1-10 and is perfect for children in Reception to Year 2 who are learning to read, teaching different letter patterns through a series of activities.

Two books for every stage provide phonics practice while offering different stories and encouraging independent reading from the start of their journey. Each stage introduces new letters and sounds while supporting any previously taught phonic letters or sounds and high-frequency words or sight words.

For example:
Unit 1: Sam and Tim (s, a, t, i, m)
Unit 2: Sit on Top! (n, o, p)
Unit 3: In the Bag (b, c, g, h)
Unit 4: In the Van (d, e, f, v)

What is phonics?

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read by understanding the sounds that individual letters make and blending them to make a word. Children can learn to read using this skill to decode new words. Phonic Books specialises in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
