Jolly Phonics Readers are fully decodavle books for new readers

These readers have been written with a carefully controled vocabulary, and are specifically designed for children who are learning to read and write with Jolly Phonics.

• The text in these Purple Level books (fifth level) uses only decodable regular words that use the letter - sound knowledge taught so far: the 42 main letter sounds and the main alternative letter - sound spellings ( as in happy, the hop-over spellings of the long vowel sounds, as in day, as in seat, and as in fly and high , as in low and now, as in few, as in joy, and as in bird and turn, , and as in talk, pause and sw, soft and soft as in cent and gene, as in phoncs, and , , and as in hair, pear and care), and a small number of tricky words (frequently used words that are not fully decodable at this stage). In this level, chidren are also expected to know and use the rule, 'If the short vowel doesn't work, try the blong vowel.
• All new tricky words and alternative vowel spellings use are shown on the front inside cover. These can be used as a quick practice activity before starting the book.
• Faint type is used for silent letters, like the in lamb.
• Comprehension questions  and discussion topics are included at the end of the book. These ensure that children are able to read the text and also get meaning from it.
