Hints and Tips:

Each book provides vocabulary and comprehension questions.

Encourage children to run their fingers under each word as they read

All words, except for Heart Words, in these books can be ‘sounded out’.To do this, children point to each letter or digraph, saying the sounds and then blending the sounds together to read the word.
