{"product_id":"9781835822807","title":"Core Purple Readers Complete Set (18 Books) : in Precursive Letters (British English Edition) by Sara Wernham","description":"Jolly Phonics Core Purple Readers have been written with a 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 (\u003cy\u003e as in happy, the \"hop-over \u003ce\u003e\" spellings of the long vowel sounds, \u003cay\u003e as in day, \u003cea\u003e as in seat, \u003cy\u003e and \u003cigh\u003e as in fl y and high, \u003cow\u003e as in low and now, \u003cew\u003e as in dew, \u003coy\u003e as in joy, \u003cir\u003e and \u003cur\u003e as in bird and turn, \u003cal\u003e, \u003cau\u003e and \u003caw\u003e as in talk, pause and saw), soft \u003cc\u003e and soft \u003cg\u003e as in cent and gene, \u003cph\u003e as in phonics, and \u003cair\u003e, \u003cear\u003e and \u003care\u003e as in hair, pear and care), and a small number of tricky words (frequently used words that are not fully decodable at this stage). In this level, children are also expected to know and use the rule, `If the short vowel doesn't work, try the long vowel.'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 beforestarting the book. Faint type is used for silent letters, like the \u003cb\u003e in lamb.   Comprehension questions and discussion topics are included at the end of the book. These ensure that children are able to read the text and also get meaning from it.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/are\u003e\u003c\/ear\u003e\u003c\/air\u003e\u003c\/ph\u003e\u003c\/g\u003e\u003c\/c\u003e\u003c\/aw\u003e\u003c\/au\u003e\u003c\/al\u003e\u003c\/ur\u003e\u003c\/ir\u003e\u003c\/oy\u003e\u003c\/ew\u003e\u003c\/ow\u003e\u003c\/igh\u003e\u003c\/y\u003e\u003c\/ea\u003e\u003c\/ay\u003e\u003c\/e\u003e\u003c\/y\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420088217973,"sku":"9781835822807","price":42.15,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781835822807.jpg?v=1764605551","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781835822807","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
