Our Phonics Jungle course has been designed to support
students in developing their phonetic frameworks by
cultivating the skills necessary to recognize and sound out
letters individually, blend letters together to spell and form
words, and read short sentences independently while
retaining comprehension. Key features of the series
include:

• Illustrated stories for each unit that engage and


motivate students to read independently

• A progressive phonics focus for each unit that still


incorporates previous phonics skills for review and
revision

• Target word lists to aide in vocabulary development


and language extension
