Jolly Phonics General Fiction: The Little Merman

These readers use a carefully controlled and structured vocabulary, making them ideal for early learners. The text includes only fully decodable words based on the phonics knowledge taught so far, including the 42 main letter sounds, alternative sounds such as /y/ at the end of words like happy and sunny, and “hop-over e” spellings for long vowel sounds. A small number of commonly used tricky words are also introduced to help children progress naturally in their reading.
