Decodable Home Reading Books - Set of 5

For Parents:

The Reading Mountain® books help parents and guardians create a positive learning experience for children, using simple guided lessons with interactive, illustrated stories. They are researched and designed to empower your child and boost their learning confidence.  Dyslexic children or reluctant readers can sometimes feel isolated or ‘behind’ their friends but the reality is they just learn differently.

Our books have:

• Practical ways of learning sounds and their letter representations
• Decodable vocabulary
• ‘Decodable’ and ‘Up for the Challenge’ levels for each title
• Cool chapter and graphic novels your child will love
• Beautiful Illustrations

These books can be used as part of a nightly reading ‘cuddle time’ or as part of a school’s home reading program. While our books are ‘Dyslexic friendly,’ they are suitable for all readers up to 7 years of age and provide stimulating graphical stories.

One way of preparing your child for a successful reading experience is to make sure that the first time the books are read is with the support of a parent or carer. This way, your child can be on the ‘look out’ for the special vocabulary that features the focus sounds.

• A particular sound is being focused on in each book
• The sound is highlighted in the word using a different colour
• The same sound may appear in different letter combinations

For Teachers:

The Reading Mountain® provides teachers and industry professionals with books and resources that are beautiful, engaging and encourage reluctant readers to be active in their own learning.

The Reading Mountain® advocates that children should be encouraged to take charge of their own reading and with support, feel at ease when trying to read more complex text.

Phonics knowledge is scaffolded and extended in complex versions of each decodable title. Our books use the Dyslexie font to cater for the learning needs of dyslexic and reluctant readers. 

The Reading Mountain® produces books that are useful, different and engaging. They are designed:

• To be used as part of a planned phonics program for all early years students but specifically for dyslexics, reluctant readers and EAL learners
• Our first sets have a specific focus on long or short sounds, with letters making the focus sounds highlighted
• To celebrate beautiful, original illustrations
• To engage using the ‘graphic novel’ structures
• With thoughtful layout to focus students on text, illustrations and direct speech
• To include simple and more challenging versions of each title to positively challenge children who have a ‘Growth Mindset’
• To be used on various electronic devices and as well as printed books
• To accompany teacher assessment and teaching support materials for each book
