Phonics Reader- 2 (Short and Long Vowel Sounds) Age 5+

Short and long vowel sounds are the focus of this graded reader, the second stage in a phonics sequence aimed at children of five and above. The book gives controlled reading practice built around vowel patterns, so words met on the page use sounds already introduced rather than arriving unannounced. Working through a reader of this type after the first stage helps a child move from sounding out single letters to recognising whole words at speed. Because the difficulty is fixed by design, a parent can hand it over knowing the vocabulary will not suddenly jump beyond what the child has been taught. The short version: • Level two of a phonics reading sequence, following on from first-stage sounds • Text controlled around short and long vowel patterns • Recommended for children aged five and upwards • Structured for repeated reading until recognition becomes automatic Aimed at parents and teachers guiding early readers through a structured phonics programme, available at Boipoka.
