Reading Stars Phonics

Covering Phases 1 to 5, Reading Stars Phonics, offers progression on a week-by-week basis (while always matching children’s phonics knowledge) and is designed to foster a lifelong love of reading. These fully decodable, synthetic phonics readers are multicultural books with diversity and equality at the heart of the scheme. The series follows the Letters and Sounds programme and supports reading development in Reception and Year One.
