Phonic Books Lift Off Readers Vowel Teams, Diphthongs, and Silent Letters - (Mixed Media Product)

Book Synopsis

Lift-Off Readers are older reader books that introduce children to how words are built using vowel teams, diphthongs, and silent letters. This pack of 10 decodable books helps older children develop an understanding of morphology (the structure of words) through a series of engaging stories.

Dedicated books in each stage break down phonics practice while offering different stories for ages 7-11 (Elementary). These action-packed stories are designed for reluctant readers, taking them through vowel teams, diphthongs, and silent letters.

For example:

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read through understanding the sounds that individual letters make and blending them to make a word. Children can learn to read using this skill to decode new words. Phonic Books specializes in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
