This starter packs contains the books in Scholastic Set 3 and Scholastic Set 4 of the Phonics Book Bag Readers fiction series.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The series includes a wide selection of diverse and inclusive stories, accompanied by bright, contemporary and humorous illustrations that will engage and inspire young readers with a ‘find the character’ feature on each spread.

The artwork is detailed so as not to provide picture cues and prompting. Each book also contains parent’s notes and a ‘retell the story’ task to support children’s oracy, vocabulary and comprehension skills. Thirteen sets of books covering groups of sounds to allow for progression.

Scholastic considers these books suitable for children learning using the Wandle Learning Trust’s Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics programme. Scholastic is not part of Wandle Learning Trust, nor are our products approved for use with the Little Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised phonics programme by the Wandle Learning Trust.

The stories in this Starter Pack focus on the sounds found in Scholastic Sets 5 and 6 and revise the sounds found in previous sets. There are thirteen sets in total, covering:
