Decodable Stories Level 2 Year 2-3: Split Digraphs, Vowel Teams, R Vowels

Decodable stories Level 2 for Year 2 and Year 3 (KS1-KS2): 12 complete phonics story workbooks for split digraphs (magic e), vowel teams and r-controlled vowels, the next step after short vowels.

Each story is a real little book of 150 to 250 words, with a problem, two tries and a solution. The stories are cumulative: they build on the short vowels, digraphs and blends from Level 1 and add one new tricky word per book (could, would, should, there, where, their…).
