The A ... and a ... Series has been developed to provide beginning readers with repetitive, structured decoding practice using a simple and predictable sentence pattern. Rather than reading stories, children repeatedly encounter the same sentence structure, allowing them to focus on sounding out words, recognising graphemes and developing reading fluency with confidence.
 
This bundle contains 15 eBooks (17 books in total, including two alternative editions of Books 74 and 91 with either "mom" or "mum"), making it suitable for both North American and British/Commonwealth English users.
 
Every eBook:
 
uses the repeated sentence structure "A ... and a ..."
includes the heart word a
includes the VCC word and
includes the capital letter A in the word A
includes carefully selected graphemes for focused decoding practice
contains 9 pages of decodable text
is followed by picture confirmation, encouraging children to decode the text before confirming meaning through the illustration
has been designed to complement any structured literacy programme
 
For the best reading experience, we recommend viewing these eBooks in single-page view. This allows children to decode the text before turning the page to view the accompanying illustration, encouraging them to rely on their decoding skills rather than picture clues.
