All the tricky words and letter sounds used are shown at the beginning of the book.
At every stage the words are within the reach of children as they use their letter sound knowledge and tricky words already taught.
The stories in the book feature words that are spelled regularly, and can be sounded out with the 42 letter sounds first taught in Jolly Phonics.
The Enormous Turnip and other stories contains six engaging fiction stories and provides comprehension questions, discussion activities and guidance for parents.
With three lively series in each level, children are able to practise their phonic skills while developing key reading skills.
