Phonic Books Moon Dogs Extras Set 2

Learn how to read with these decodable Phonic Books for older readers.

Moon Dogs Extras Set 2 consists of older reader books that introduce children to a few letters and sounds at a time. This pack of 24 books is aimed at older children who are in the very early stages of reading and in need of support, teaching different letter patterns through a series of stories.

Three books in each stage provide phonics practice while offering different stories, encouraging independent reading from the start. The series starts at the CVC level and introduces adjacent consonants and consonant digraphs, with gentle progression throughout the set.

For example:

• Books 1a, 1b, and 1c: CVC
• Books 2a, 2b, and 2c: VCC, CVCC
• Books 3a, 3b, and 3c: CCVC
• Books 4a, 4b, and 4c: CCVCC

This catch-up reader book series features:

• A pack of 24 decodable books, each containing a story with different phonic letters and sounds.
• Each unit (1-8) introduces new letters and sounds by sounding them out (sat, s - a - t).
• Reading material aimed at older children who need support with their reading.
• CVC, VCC, CVCC, CCVC, and CCVCC words, introducing adjacent consonants and consonant digraphs.

Each 12-page book contains:

• A ‘How to Use This Book’ guidance page with a ‘This book introduces’ text box, including information about the new sounds introduced, sounds learned from previous books, high-frequency words, and important notes on the sound.
• Story pages (numbers 1-6) with one line of text per page.
• Game instructions.
• Photocopyable game page.

What is phonics?

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read through understanding the sounds that individual letters make and blending them to form words. Children can learn to read using this skill to decode new words. Phonic Books specialises in publishing decodable, systematic books supporting this structured literacy instruction.
