phased readers
The BookLife Readers begin with the very basics of phonetically phonetically decodable reading. Starting with the earliest step of CVC words - words comprising a consonant, a vowel and a consonant - and building on this combination slowly, the reader follows a prescribed format taken directly from the recognised Letters and Sounds Letters and Sounds educational document. By aligning our books with Letters and Sounds, we offer our readers a consistent approach to learning, whether at home or in the classroom. Books levelled as ‘a’ are an introduction to the band. Readers can advance to ‘b’ where graphemes are consolidated and further graphemes are introduced. The illustrations guide the reader, helping to deliver reading progression through the scheme in a colourful colourful and exciting way. As a reader moves through the book band levels, the page numbers, level of repetition and sentence structure complexity all advance at a rate which encourages encourages
development without halting enjoyment. To find out more about this exciting new reading scheme, please email our Rights Department at harriet@booklife.co.uk

BookLife Readers have been specifically created in line with the way that children are taught to read in schools and by working with teachers we know that the leap up to Phase 5 is one of the biggest hurdles developing readers face.

In reaction to all the requests we received directly from teachers and educational professionals, we have developed 22 uniquely created books, each focusing on one of the core sounds which feature at this level. By focusing on one sound instead
of bombarding new readers with everything at once you can allow your reader to learn and master the new sound before progressing. We are confident that this levelled approach to learning will build confidence in your new readers and develop their skills at a far greater pace and with a better level of understanding.
