• A set of early decodable folktale reader books designed for beginning readers learning with Jolly Phonics.
• Retells traditional folktales from around the world using a carefully controlled, decodable vocabulary based on the first 42 letter sounds taught in the programme.
• Text uses only decodable regular words plus a small number of tricky words that aren’t fully decodable yet; these tricky words and any alternative spellings are listed inside the book for quick practice before reading.
• Silent letters (like the b in lamb) are shown in faint type so children don’t accidentally sound them out.
