Action-packed fully decodable chapter books!
36 decodable chapter books that provide the perfect ‘next step’ once students have completed the Sunshine Phonics Decodable programme. Having mastered the alphabetic code, students will be ready to immerse themselves in chapter books that they can and want to read!
The Next Steps Decodables books follow the adventures of the members of Team Turbo, a group of children (and their dog) who live in a beachside town in Australia. Their different personalities and interests make for all sorts of various adventures. Stories are narrated by different characters. Some are in the past tense and some are present tense – ensuring lots of variety and lots of learning.
