Nearly 5,000 primary schools in the UK have chosen the Little Wandle Phonics programme, helping children to apply their learning to become highly competent readers while also instilling good habits to help them become life-long readers. 2 MOVES CHILDREN FROM DECODING TO COMPREHENSION The series aims to reinforce classroom learning, focusing on different phonemes within the current and preceding levels to foster fluency and phrasing skills. Each decodable reader has been carefully crafted to help children to build on their phonic knowledge, moving confidently from decoding the words to comprehension. This all helps children become confident, fluent readers who will enjoy reading, both for school and for pleasure. 3 DIVERSE & INCLUSIVE CONTENT The series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive texts, accompanied by bright and contemporary illustrations and photographs that are detailed so as not to provide picture cues and prompting. Within each book, you will find activities to help children practise and apply their early learning skills, including the ‘talk about it’ and ‘retell the story’ tasks designed to help them develop their oracy, vocabulary, and comprehension skills. Notes and guidance are also provided to help you feel confident in supporting your pupils every step of the way. 4 EXCELLENT VALUE You can expand your classroom library and make the most of your budget with our great value school starter packs, complete with six copies of each fiction or non-fiction book so you can be sure you have enough for all your pupils.
