The Red Squirrel Phonics series is a series of 70 decodable books that have been written to help children succeed in both of these aims from the very start. With comprehensive Teacher Books that include guided reading lesson plans and activity sheets for each book, the series is perfect for helping children to use and apply the phonic skills they have learned through their SSP programme, and further develop both their decoding and comprehension skills, and increase fluency. The series consists of a range of fun, enjoyable books that students are sure to find highly engaging. The first 50 books feature characters from the same family along with their pets and friends, and later books introduce a range of different illustration styles and text types. The books are perfect to use for guided or independent reading practice in school or at home. 2 www.raintree.co.uk Find out more at www.raintree.co.uk/red-squirrel-phonics Complete Series of 70 titles plus 2 teachers’ books! • 9781398217171 • £300 Books can be used to complement Letters and Sounds and other systematic synthetic phonics programmes Rights: UK and EU only 30 NEW TITLES COMING IN 2022Red Squirrel Phonics 3 www.raintree.co.uk LEVEL 7 10 BOOKS LEVEL 1 10 BOOKS satpinmd LEVEL 2 10 BOOKS gobherful LEVEL 3 10 BOOKS c kck j qu vw x yz zzffllss LEVEL 4 10 BOOKS th/thchngshaieeighoaoo/oo LEVEL 5 10 BOOKS arorurowoiearairureer LEVEL 6 10 BOOKS Phonemesearairj, scu, e, r ar, o, m n, il, v, zsh, chzh Graphemeserearegkoaknlechs(ion) eereardgeckea(w)agnvet(ion) cquwrmbysess(ion, ure) scxs(ion, ure) chc(ion, ious, ial) tch Red Squirrel Phonics Overview Teaching the 44 Phonemes of English Phonemesf waieeighoaooorurowoi Graphemesphayeayowewawirouoy wha-ee-eieo-eueauer eighiei-eoeu-ealear eyyiouour eieyoul aeRed Squirrel Phonics 4 www.raintree.co.uk The first three levels of the programme cover 23 phonemes of English. • There are 10 books in each level (30 total). • Levels 1–3 introduce all consonants and short vowels. • Levels 1–3 focus is on predominantly VC and CVC words and a few tricky words.
