Decodable Reading Books for Foundation and Year 1

Decodable Reading Books To maximise gains in the early reading phase, typically the first 18 months of reading, students require access to high quality reading books. Quality early reading materials will facilitate the opportunity for students to rehearse their decoding skills in a context that gradually increases in complexity and length. Within the designed book lists, sight words and phonic concepts are progressively introduced. Decodable readers typically should be viewed as a short-term resource, until students develop fluency and word attack skills. We recommend the following home reader sets used in conjunction with the recommended screens. By using the resources together, children will be allocated appropriate reading material, and teachers are able to produce evidence of measurable progress each school term within the early reading acquisition phase. Determining the Appropriate Reading Material for Students

Set 1 of the Home and Targeted Group Reading books feature VC and CVC words . Prior to allocating these initial reading books, pre-literacy skills (i.e. alphabet sounds and phonemic awareness blending) must be taught and screened. The screen on the right (typically presented in week 6 of Term 2) will track student's progress in the early weeks of learning to decode VC and CVC words. Early Reading Profile – Foundation Year
