The phonemes/graphemes covered in each story are listed before the story. At least one example of each will appear in the story. In some stories there are several examples.
The phonic stories for adults eBook contains no more than five as yet un-decodable words per story. These words are listed in a chart called ‘Crack the Code’ Because the chart contains images and colour, readers are assisted with word attack skills. If you have taught the lesson related to the phonemes in the story, your student will come across very few words that they are unable to read. A reading progress chart will allow the teacher to monitor how many words in each story have been read correctly.
