Description
Phonic Books Sun Cats is a truly decodable and engaging, hi-lo phonics graphic novel designed for older readers.
This book is perfect for older readers who have an interest in graphic novels but are still in the early stages of reading.
Each story practises the initial sounds of the alphabet at CVC-level text. The book includes eight stories bound into one graphic novel format, following the adventures of a diverse group of teenage friends in a skateboarding team called the Sun Cats.
Phonic Books Sun Cats shares the same phonics 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.
