Age Group: 3 - 6 Years

Description: Designed for early readers, each book in the Songbirds Phonics series introduces specific sounds and blends, combining fun narratives with effective learning to build confidence and foster a love for reading. More Stage 3: These books revise all the phonics learnt in stages 1-3: the short vowel sounds a, e, i, o and u; consonants and double consonants; two consonants making one sound th, sh, ch, wh, ng, ck; and consonant clusters making more than one sound at beginning and ends of words (e.g. elf, lift). In addition, one letter pattern for each of the common long vowels sounds is taught: ee (as in three), ie (as in tie), oa (as in toad), ai (as in train) oo (as in too and also as in good).
