Synopsis

The Read Write Inc. Phonics storybooks provide structured practice for children in decoding words and reading through phonics. Each set of books is carefully graded so children can read them with confidence.
Read Write Inc. Phonics storybooks help parents support their child by:
* Using Ruth Miskin's successful tried-and-tested phonic methodology for reading success
* Offering practical and effective advice in guiding their child through every story
* Building confidence using fun and engaging stories with opportunities for talk and praise throughout

The structured phonic stories in Books 2a and 2b are written for parents to plan achievable reading sessions with their child and build reading stamina from Books 1a and 1b.

Nip and Chip Book 2b, includes the following phonically decodable stories:
1. Nip and Chip - Two chimps jump on a log but soon realise that they are floating on a crocodile!
2. Gran's Van - Gran is boasting about how good her van is and then it breaks down and falls to bits!

Every rhyming story uses artwork by Tim Archbold, who uses a style that has been likened Quentin Blake's, which children love.

It is recommended that parents use the RWI Phonics Speed Sound Flashcards Set 1 to practice before and alongside children reading any of the RWI story books.

Reading steps for success:
* Practise reading the Speed Sounds before each story
* Read the Red and Green words before each story
* Read the story to decode every word
* Re-read the story to reinforce meaning
* Re-read the story for fluency
