Real stories

While the Red Squirrel Phonics books are decodable texts, they are also real stories! The stories follow the adventures of Nat, Dan and Sam and their pets and friends. Children follow a systematic progression from learning the sounds (phonemes) and the letters that represent them (graphemes) across 7 levels/bands.
