Dandelion Launchers are a phonic series for beginner readers.

Aimed at children aged 4-7, each book introduces only a few letter/sounds at a time allowing independent reading from the outset.

Four decodable books in each unit provide practice whilst offering different stories. Each unit introduces new letters/sounds while revising previously taught phonic letters/sounds and high-frequency or sight words.
