Blend readers introduce 38 different adjacent consonants (blends). The text uses only decodable regular words (according to the week by week progression) along with ‘tricky words’. Blend readers have a strictly controlled vocabulary that follows the letter-by-letter progression.
The set includes 6 x 12 fiction readers, each with colorful illustrations.
