Aussie Readers Decodable Texts - Set 8 continue the Year 1 series, supporting early readers as they build confidence by reading texts that use only previously taught phonetic code and a small number of tricky words.
Set 8 focuses on single-letter and split digraph spellings for long vowel sounds (bossy e):
a, e, i, o, u, a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e, u_e
Tricky words: because, water, friend, other, once, front
This set contains seven engaging decodable books, designed to help children practise applying newly introduced sounds while strengthening reading accuracy and fluency.
Set 8 also includes a fun Sound Hunt, where children search for the phoneme poster image hidden within the focus story.
All texts follow a systematic, synthetic phonics approach, supporting reading accuracy, fluency, and confidence as children progress.
