Book Synopsis
Jolly Phonics Folktales Readers are retellings of traditional folktales from around the world. They have a very carefully controlled vocabulary and are specifically designed for children who are learning to read and write with Jolly Phonics. The text in these Purple Level Books (fifth level) uses only decodable regular words that use the letter-sound knowledge taught so far: the 42 main letter sounds and the main alternative letter-sound spellings (y as in happy, the hop-over e' spellings of the long vowel sounds, ay as in day, ea as in seat, y and igh as in fly and high, ow as in low and now, ew as in dew, oy as in joy, ir and ur as in bird and turn, al, au and aw as in talk, pause and saw, soft c and soft g as in cent and gene, ph as in phonics and air, ear and are as in hair, pear and care) and a small number of tricky words (frequently used words that are not fully decodable at this stage). All new tricky words and alternative vowel spellings used are shown on the front inside cover. These can be used as a quick practice activity before starting the book. Faint type is used for silent letters, like the b in lamb. Comprehension questions and discussion topics are included at the end of the book. These ensure that children are not only able to read the text, but also get meaning from it.
