How to use this book
This book is part of the African Sunshine Phonics programme and is a
decodable text. African Sunshine Phonics teaches children phonics skills in a
sequential and systematic way so that they can learn the sounds (phonemes)
and the letters that represent them (graphemes) and then practise and apply
this knowledge through reading a text that makes sense. Before reading
each story, children should practise saying the sounds that they will use and
practise blending the sounds to say the words they will meet in the story.
The sounds and words are printed on page 16. These words are mostly
CVC words but also include some decodable high-frequency words (VC, CV
and VCC words). At the end of the story children should re-visit these words
to see how quickly they can read them. Some high-frequency words that are
not easy to decode at this level are included and are called Tricky Words.
These words will need to be learnt by sight at this stage.
