Alba Series
Tax included.
Alba, the heroine, has been shrunk to 10cm tall by a corrupt scientist determined to own the last apple pip in the world. Join her in her adventures as she crosses the city to get the last pip safely to her Dad.
An exciting series of 12 books for older readers with gaps in their phonic knowledge. This series starts with a quick recap of adjacent constants (CVCC, CCVC, and CCVCC) and of the constant digraphs ch, sh, th, ck, and ng. Consonant digraphs are introduced a few at a time as the reader will have already learned them. The series then introduces a few alternative spellings for vowel sounds (e. g. the spellings ai, ay, a-e, and ea for the sounds 'ae'). These books follow the same phonic progression as the popular Totem Series and can be used along side Totem for further practise.
Interest age 8-14.
Complete your set with the practical workbook, containing activities relating to the Alba Series books. It is photocopiable and has activities for segmenting, blending, phoneme manipulation and comprehension.
