Phase 6 Fiction Readers
Junior Learning · Letters & Sounds
12 illustrated fiction readers per selected collection. Choose Phase 6 texts for the phonics and reading practice your pupils need. Compare the options below before selecting your collection.
Teaching focus & phonics coverage
- Skills to practise
- Reading words with suffixes, extending vocabulary and consolidating earlier phonics and tricky words.
- Text focus
- These spelling readers use richer vocabulary to provide further connected-text practice. The publisher labels the individual titles “Fluent”.
- Teaching decisions
- Choose a book for the spelling patterns and vocabulary your pupils need to practise. Use discussion and rereading to work on meaning and phrasing.
- Match to your teaching
- Check the actual words and suffixes in each book. The published title tables do not give a separate sound-by-sound sequence for every Phase 6 book.
Choose & build your Phase 6 reading collection
Compare the fiction and non-fiction collections at this phase, then choose the stories or topics that suit your learners. Set 2 offers different titles at the same phase.
Each selected reader option contains 12 books. Workbooks, teacher books and additional reader collections are optional extras, sold separately and not included.
Suggested classroom use

Listen & support
Listen to the pupil read and note decoding that needs further teaching. Discuss the meaning of the text.
