Aimed at girls and boys, the Alba Series has a feisty, resourceful female heroine. Alba steps in to save the day when someone threatens to jeopardise her fathers important scientific work.
Starting at CVC level the books progress at a faster pace through adjacent consonants, consonant digraphs and alternative vowel spellings. A step-by-step phonic progression within exciting, beautiful full-colour illustrations and age-appropriate stories, with special appeal to older girls.
This series shares the same phonic progression as the Totem Series and can be used in parallel.
Includes 12 decodable books starting at CVC & CVCC level plus workbook. The workbook offers segmenting, blending, comprehension and writing exercises. Activities are all linked to the 12 Alba decodable books.
