These two sequential EE decodable reading books, with 31 matching worksheets and two video lessons, form part of the Reading Made Simple structured literacy programme.

The pack teaches EE as the next step in a carefully sequenced reading and spelling programme. Pupils practise the new sound through phonemic awareness, blending, word reading and spelling before applying it in connected text.

What makes these books different?

These are not “word-stuff” decodables.

• The stories are written as real, readable stories while the vocabulary remains carefully controlled.
• New as the next step in a carefully sequenced reading and spelling programme. Pupils practise the new sound through words are introduced gradually alongside words pupils have already learned.
• Familiar vocabulary is repeatedly recycled across the stories and activities, giving children repeated opportunities to develop word recognition and reading fluency.
• The illustrations support enjoyment and comprehension but are not needed to guess unfamiliar words.

What's included?

• 2 sequential decodable books
• 31 matching worksheets
• 2 video lessons with review
• Word-practice lists before the stories
• Carefully controlled decodable vocabulary
• Large, clear print and generous spacing
• Print-ready A4 pages

The worksheets provide practice in EE phonemic awareness, blending, segmenting, spelling, word recognition and fluency.

You do not need to complete every worksheet. Select the activities that give each pupil the practice they need.

Where this pack fits

The DD pack follows the earlier sounds and patterns in the Reading Made Simple sequence and is best used in order so that pupils apply phonics they have already been taught.

CVC → CCVC/CVCC → CK → OO → EE

The books can also be used alongside another systematic phonics programme where the pupil already has the necessary prerequisite knowledge.

Suitable for

• pupils progressing through a systematic phonics programme
• pupils who need additional practice or a slower pace
• individual or small-group teaching
• intervention, tutoring and home education

Teach the pattern. Practise it. Read it. Build fluency.
