These books have controlled vocabulary, with words that only use certain letter sounds and a few tricky words that should have been taught. This enables the children to practise the letter sounds and the blending of new words as they read at home and at school. As more letter sounds are introduced, the next set of readers will have words that use the new letter sounds, as well as the previously taught letter sounds. Once a word has been blended a few times it becomes known. Then blending is only needed for new words that have not been read before. Phonic progression In Steps 3, 4 and 5 the progression used in the Jolly Phonics Readers is clearly demonstrated. You can see here [demonstration], how it progressively builds up, using new letter sounds and tricky word knowledge for each of the new levels: Red Level (the 42 sounds, some tricky words and the character names, Inky, Snake and Bee); Yellow Level (the 42 sounds, ‹y› as /ee/, some more tricky words and the character name, Phonic); Green Level (the 42 sounds, ‹y› as /ee/, split digraphs and some more tricky words); Blue Level (the 42 sounds, ‹y› as /ee/, all the main alternative vowel spellings, and some more tricky words). This information is clearly presented at the front, so you know exactly what is in each book. At the same time, the complexity of the vocabulary increases, as well as the number of words on the page, which naturally enables more interesting stories to be written. One advantage of this style of decodable readers is that it is clear what needs to be taught per level, with all 18 books in that level following those criteria. It means that at each level the books can be read in any order, which makes it easier for teachers sorting out books for the children to take home and read to their parents or guardians. In some schemes the criteria varies from book to book, which makes it more difficult to organise. There are different types of decodable readers and it is important to select what is appropriate for the different needs of the children. You will have noticed in Jolly Phonics, and on this website, that we prefer to wait until the 42 letter sounds have been taught. Our reasons were as follows: The 42 letter sounds cover one way of writing the main sounds of English, which gives an overall understanding of how the main sounds linked in speech can be represent by letters. It also enables a greater variety of words to be used in the first books, which means that more interesting stories can be written for the children to read. With only six letter sounds, very few words are available but with 42 letter sounds, there are pages of words that can be used – in fact, hundreds of words [demonstration, using the Word Bank]. So the chance of getting a good story is far higher.Ideally, children should not be asked to read books until they have the necessary skill of blending and know sufficient letter sounds. It is asking for trouble to start before a child has enough basic knowledge and skills. By delaying decodable readers until all 42 letter sounds have been taught, the slow-to-start children have more chance of developing the skill of blending and learning the letter sounds. The importance of good language skills and a wide vocabulary In order to become a good reader, it is not only necessary to have good decoding skills, but also good language skills and a wide vocabulary. The latter enables the children to understand what they are reading. A wide vocabulary becomes even more important when the children are good at decoding words and have become free readers. Now they will be reading books that use more complex words that do not always have a reliable pronunciation ********************************************************************************** If you have any queries please comment below.
