EXPLORING OUR DECODABLE EBOOKS

Our decodable eBooks are carefully crafted to cater to learners at different stages of their literacy journey. Divided into four sets based on text types – CVC words, noun phrases, fragments and sentences, and longer sentences – each eBook offers a unique learning experience.

​

Cheeky Series

​

Across all four stages, some eBooks are also available as part of our Cheeky Series. These books follow the same carefully controlled structure as the rest of the Are You Right? series, but include a small number of playful, child-appealing words (such as dag and bum). The Cheeky Series is designed for children who may benefit from a little extra humour and engagement, at the discretion of the adult supporting their reading.

​Are you Right? CVC eBooks

​

Our CVC eBooks are perfect for those who are beginning their literacy journey. No heart word knowledge is required, only the knowledge of the focus graphemes and the ability to blend together three sounds.

​

In the beginning stages, we have limited the use of capital letters unless they are formed in the same way as their lower case pair. 

​

Some titles at this stage are also available in our Cheeky Series, featuring a small number of playful words for children who enjoy a bit of extra fun in their reading.

Are you Right? Noun Phrase eBooks

​

Once learners have gained confidence and fluency with CVC words, they are ready to take the next step in their literacy journey with our Noun Phrase eBooks. These specialised eBooks focus on reinforcing comprehension and expanding vocabulary through carefully crafted noun phrases.

​​

Each eBook presents text composed of only two words, centered around a noun. These phrases, devoid of punctuation or capitalisation, will have the learners encounter familiar determiners such as the heart words 'a', 'the', and 'my', which will help specify the noun's context or ownership.

​​

In addition to determiners, the noun phrases may include adjectives or other modifiers, enriching the descriptive aspect of the text. 

​

This stage also includes selected Cheeky Series titles, offering the same noun phrase structure with added humour for children who respond well to playful language.

Are you Right? Fragment and Sentence eBooks

​

Our Fragment and Sentence eBooks are designed to further expand learners' literacy skills beyond CVC words and noun phrases. These eBooks offer a blend of short fragments and complete sentences.

​​

In the Fragment section, learners encounter concise textual snippets, such as 'A pot' and 'A tin and a can'. These fragments serve as building blocks for understanding sentence structure and developing reading fluency.

​​

Moving on to the Sentence section, learners are introduced to complete sentences, like 'Pip is in the pit'. These sentences offer opportunities to practise comprehension and contextual understanding while reinforcing phonetic principles.

​

Selected eBooks at this stage are part of the Cheeky Series, maintaining the same literacy focus while including light-hearted, child-appealing vocabulary.

Are you Right? Sentence eBooks

​​

Our Sentence eBooks mark the culmination of the Are you Right? series, offering learners the opportunity to advance their reading skills with engaging longer sentences and including a wider range of alphabet sounds in each sentence.

​

In this final stage of the CVC journey, learners encounter sentences such as 'The tin is on the mat' and 'The man sat in the big red bus', which provide a comprehensive reading experience. Through exposure to longer sentences, learners develop further fluency with CVC words containing their alphabet sounds.

​

As with earlier stages, some Sentence eBooks are also available in our Cheeky Series for learners who enjoy a cheekier reading experience.
