The first stage of teaching children how to read is developing their phonemic awareness - i.e. they must be able to identify and create sounds within sets of letters and words.
At Abacus, we offer Phase 1 Decodable Readers, which have been carefully crafted to improve and strengthen the phonemic awareness of young readers.
Our Phonemic Awareness Readers feature colourful illustrations to engage young learners and make lessons more memorable at the same time. They are also colour-coded according to Phase, making them more convenient to organise within and outside of class.
They are available for purchase in different variations as listed below:
These sets can also be purchased as bulk pack of six: Set 1 Fiction, Set 1 Non-fiction, Set 2 Fiction, and Set 2 Non-fiction.
These sets are also available as kits:
If you would like to purchase a set of 12 titles for each phase (1-6), we recommend the Decodables Boxed Set 1 Fiction, Set 2 Fiction, Set 1 Non-fiction, and Set 2 Non-fiction.
The Decodable Readers Boxed Set uses bright and vibrant illustrations throughout to bring each story to life. Both the fiction and non-fiction set includes 72 titles, each with illustrated stories that engage students’ interest in written and visual learning.
Every story has been written with a strictly controlled text, so that children are only exposed to letter sounds they have previously learnt.
The Phonemic Awareness Package and Phonemic Awareness Kit include various games and activities that help children put their knowledge into practise. Our equipment is so much fun that your students will learn without ever getting bored!
These games can be played either independently or in groups which encourage teamwork and clear communication among children.
Phonemic Awareness Workbook
This workbook is aimed at young learners who are just starting to develop their phonemic awareness. It features 54 pages exercises, 55 stickers, and progress map to keep track of children's learning.
True to their name, the workbooks encourage children to practise their speaking and listening skills. As they do this, they also begin to pick up vital reading and writing skills, which allow them to progress faster than if they tackled these language skills one at a time.
You can purchase a single workbook or if you are looking at a group, you can purchase Set of 12 Phase 1 workbooks.
