Learn how to read with Dandelion Readers decodable books for beginner readers.

Dandelion Readers VCe Spellings Activities are first reader books by Phonic Books which introduce children to a few letters and sounds at a time. This activity book accompanies Dandelion Readers VCe Spellings and is perfect for older children who are in their early stages of reading, focusing on silent or 'magic' -e spellings through a series of activities.

Two books for every stage provide phonics practice while offering different stories and encouraging independent reading from the start of their journey. Each stage introduces new letters and sounds while supporting any previously taught phonic letters or sounds and high-frequency words or sight words.

For example:
Book 1: The Shape Game (a-e)
Book 2: These Things (e-e)
Book 3: Bike Ride (i-e)

- Reading material aimed at children aged 5-7.
- Activities which reinforce previously taught spellings a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e.

This 138-page phonics activity book features:

What is phonics?

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read by understanding the sounds that individual letters make and blending them to make a word. Children can learn to read using this skill to decode new words. Phonic Books specializes in decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
