Jolly Phonics Our World nonfiction readers are fully decodable books for new readers. They have a very carefully controlled vocabulary and are specifically designed for children who are learning to read and write with Jolly Phonics. * The text in these Green Level Books (third level) uses only decodable regular words that use the letter-sound knowledge taught so far: the 42 main letter sounds and the alternative letter-sound spellings as in happy and the hop-over spellings of the long vowel sounds as in take, these, bike, code and mule, and a small number of tricky words (frequently used words that are not fully decodable at this stage). * All new tricky words and alternative vowel spellings used are shown on the front inside cover. These can be used as a quick practice activity before starting the book. * Faint type is used for silent letters, like the in lamb. * Comprehension questions and discussion topics are included at the end of the book. These ensure that children are not only able to read the text, but also get meaning from it.
