This starter packs contains the books in Scholastic Set 1 and
Scholastic Set 2 of the Phonics Book Bag Readers fiction series.

These titles are part of a set of phonically decodable
reading books perfect for very early readers. These expertly levelled
stories are engaging and follow one of the most commonly
used validated SSPs in primary schools.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive
stories, accompanied by bright, contemporary and humorous
illustrations that will engage and inspire young readers with
a 'find the character' feature on each spread.

The artwork is detailed so as not to provide picture cues and
prompting. Each book also contains parent's notes and a 'retell
the story' task to support children's oracy, vocabulary
and comprehension skills. Thirteen sets of books covering groups
of sounds to allow for progression.

Scholastic considers these books suitable for children learning
using the Wandle Learning Trust's Little Wandle Letters and Sounds
Revised phonics programme. Scholastic is not part of Wandle Learning
Trust, nor are our products approved for use with the Little
Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised phonics programme by the Wandle
Learning Trust.

The stories in this Starter Pack focus on the sounds found in
Scholastic Sets 1 and 2 and revise the sounds found in previous sets.
