Dandelion World Stages 1-7

This series comprises 14 non-fiction books. Aimed at children in Reception to Year 2, each stage introduces a few sounds at a time, allowing independent reading from the outset, with beautiful photo illustrations throughout. A feature of the series is the illustrated knowledge base at the end of each book, allowing for teaching and discussion of the topics covered. This recognises the importance of reading being placed in a wider context of general knowledge, especially in the early stages.

Each stage practises new letters/sounds while supporting previously taught letters/sounds and high-frequency words. There are two books at each stage to reinforce learning:

Stage 1: s, a, t, i, m
Stage 2: n, o, p
Stage 3: b, c, g, h
Stage 4: d, e, f, v
Stage 5: k, l, r, u
Stage 6: j, w, z
Stage 7: x, y, ff, ll, ss, zz

Follows the same scope and sequence as Dandelion Launchers units 1-3 and Dandelion Launchers units 4-7
