Reading Gems Phonics is for children who are learning their letters and sounds. Simple, engaging stories provide gentle phonics practice. Each book includes phonics-based activities and games to aid comprehension and extended learning. These titles feature original stories, delightful characters, and humorous illustrations.
Each book covers the phonics of a letter, or combination of letters by using fun words and real-life photos to engage beginner readers. These books are perfect for introducing essential sounds and letters and the many ways they are used in language.
Level 0 - Lilac books support children's developing speaking and listening skills. Children are encouraged to enjoy books from as early an age as possible. The focus of this phase is on using imagination to build stories, rather than on directly reading. In our level 0 books, there are no words.
Level 1 - Pink books introduce simple letter-sound combinations. As each set of letters is introduced, children are encouraged to use their new knowledge to sound out and blend words. For example, they will learn to blend the sounds s-a-t to make the word sat.
