As with all things Phono-Graphic, this series is made for teaching, not just practicing, reading. An extensive instructional section presents how to effectively teach someone to read as they read a book. 

• Each book is presented in two volumes: 
•  a phono-graphically coded volume — to make the nature of the code more apparent and make it possible for many students to read who might not otherwise be able to.
•  an uncoded volume — to give students an immersive experience in a 'real book'.
• ‘Controlled text’, made up of words that are limited primarily to the sounds and syllable structures that have been introduced so far
• Careful response to errors that ensures students decode stories with the same phono-graphic approach taught with individual words in other Phono-Graphix lessons.
• Playful activities that naturally stem from the reading get children up and moving.
• Extension ideas for meaningful Phono-Graphix lessons embedded in the literature.

PURPLE/ADVANCED CODE BUNDLE: ideal for ages 6 to late primary

 Aligned with the lessons and word lists of the third level, Purple/Advanced Code, of Phono-Graphix, which continues to work with:

• the concept that letters are pictures of sounds
• the three phonological skills needed for reading and spelling any word
• the Basic Code, the sounds in English commonly represented by a single letter

while introducing the rest of the nature of the English written code, in an evidence-based, clinically-tested sequence: 

• That sounds can be represented by 2 or more letters
• That every sound can be spelled in various ways
• That some of the 'sound pictures' (symbols for sounds) 'overlap': are used to represent 2 or more different sounds.

This bundle includes Books 3, 4 and 5 of the Playful Stories series, covering the letter-to-sound correspondence for the various spellings of:

• the sound 'oe' (as in 'toe')
• the sound 'ow' (as in 'cow')
• the concept of 'vowel + e' (as in 'home')
• the overlapping sound picture <ow> (either 'oe' as in 'slow' or 'ow' as in 'cow')
• the sound 'er' (as in 'her')
• the sound 'ee' (as in 'deer')
• the sounds 'qu' (as in 'queen')
• the sound 'ae' (as in 'rain')
• the sound 'e' (as in 'met')
• their overlapping sound picture <ea> that can represent the sound 'ae' (as in 'great'), 'ee' (as in 'sea') or 'e' (as in 'thread')
• their overlapping sound picture <e> that can represent the sound 'ee' (as in 'me') or 'e' (as in 'pet')
