Notes:
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DECODABLE BOOK AND A LEVELED BOOK e.g. PM Readers. Both types of books improve fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. At some point both types should be a part of a reader’s personal library. While a decodable book focuses on one phonic/spelling pattern, leveled books or Graded Readers similar to the PM Readers, combine many phonetic patterns, sight words, and vocabulary. As the word knowledge, vocabulary, and sentence structure increase in difficulty, the level of the book increases. Depending on the difficulty of these components, publishers “level” the text accordingly.The PM Story Books from Purple level feature a range of different activities and sports that attract children at this age.Skills such as the ability to break spoken and written words into syllables, respond to digraphs and blends, decode grapho-phonic cues, identify silent letters, notice common prefixes and read common suffixes can be practised at Purple level.Students will have encountered most of the high-frequency words in the English language by the end of Purple level.Introduces the chapter book concept, with meticulous levelling and high-interest storylines.Text type: Information Report (Informative).Includes teaching points.
