Year 1 Set 01 Decodable Readers - Long ee spellings: ea, final e and review of ee

Extend long ee reading beyond ee to ea and final e in selected familiar words. Two stories and two information texts provide repeated opportunities to compare spellings while following meaning across sentences.

This set connects four short books with practical phonics work. The paired editions use the same text and matching artwork, so you can choose Black and White or Colour for the reading session. The companion returns to the sounds and spellings used in the books through guided practice, word work and connected reading and writing.

Using the readers

Introduce the focus spellings and any words needing support. Model sounding out and blending, read a book together, then revisit it for accurate, smoother reading and discussion. Use the companion to link spoken sounds, written spellings and meaning. Support the activity directions as needed.

Readiness and placement

Use after the Foundation sequence, with the current focus explicitly taught before independent reading. The year label describes the collection; choose the set using the student's taught code and current reading needs.
