Initial Code Books
Units 1 to 10

Units 1 to 10 introduce the basic sounds of the alphabet and can be used to launch children into reading. They can achieve success from the very first book which only has five sounds.

The Units are available in three parallel sets of ten books, the three books at each level use the same sounds allowing children to read different stories which reinforces learning.

These books can be used in combination with the worksheets.

Each Dandelion Reader includes:

• Phonic Progression. Dandelion Readers follow a rigorous phonic progression based on the Sounds~Write® Programme.  Each level builds on all previous levels.

• Clear phonic sequences

• Practice of blending skills

• Minimal sight words

• Text on a cream background to make it reader friendly

• Motivating stories with appealing characters

• Imaginative illustrations

• A games page to simulate further reading practice

• Worksheets available for the classroom
