About the Book
This graphic novel-style series for 9-12 year-olds features eight decodable books designed for older readers who can read simple CVC words.
Eight stories bound into one graphic novel format follow the adventures of a diverse group of teenage friends in a skateboarding team called the Sun Cats. Each story practises the initial sounds of the alphabet at CVC-level text.
For example:
Chapter 1: s a t i m
Chapter 2: n o p
Chapter 3: b c g h
Chapter 4: d e f v
Chapter 5: k l r u
Chapter 6: j w z
Chapter 7: x y ff ll ss zz
Chapter 8: All initial sounds, CVC
Sun Cats shares the same phonic progression as Phonic Books Moon Dogs and Phonic Books Moon Dogs Extras Set 1, and can be used in parallel to consolidate phonemic knowledge and reading skills.
