Phonics Reading Books
Debbie Hepplewhite’s original hard copy, cumulative, decodable ‘Phonics Reading Books’ are designed to complement the ‘No Nonsense Phonics’ programme and the FREE ‘Phonics International’ programme (for Units 1 to 6 of 12 Units). Both of these phonics programmes are authored by Debbie and ‘validated’ in their own right by the Department for Education (DfE) in England.
Debbie describes her reading books as ‘Phonics and vocabulary books’ because they feature rich, and sometimes unusual, vocabulary with shorter and longer words from the get-go.
Now available online as ebooks via an annual licence, they are now instantly available using any device in any country and context – in schools, homes and even libraries.
This ebook platform also enables class teachers to share the content on large scale screens with groups and whole classes for;
1) learners’ decoding (phonics) practice and;
2) to enrich learners’ vocabulary and develop their language comprehension.
The ‘Phonics Reading Books’ are also aligned with the ‘Wand Phonics’ digital, interactive programme (published by Wand Education). ‘Wand Phonics’ has full audio and is validated by the DfE when used in a ‘blended’ way with ‘No Nonsense Phonics’ and/or the ‘Phonics International’ programmes.
Debbie’s ‘Phonics Reading Books’ can also be used to complement or supplement a school’s stock of phonics books even when other core, systematic synthetic phonics programmes are used by schools. Simply use the ‘Phonics Reading Books’ in a sensible way such as ‘lag behind the code introduced in the planned phonics lessons’ - as required.
Currently there are 33 ebooks availabe - more will be added (making 40+ in total) at no additional cost to the annual licence fee.
Full access to all titles in the Phonics Reading Books series (ebooks) for 12 months (renewable).
