Description
This book, Platypus, in the series, Wild About Animals, is part of the Redback Decodable Library on Animals.
The Redback Decodable Library provides children in early primary with phonetically decodable reading practice. The non-fiction content is fun to look at, interesting to read, and covers Australian Curriculum topics and subjects for K-2. The word selection is based on the usual phonics progression for the early stages of learning to read. Sight words and common proper nouns are introduced gradually, and there are carefully chosen glossary words which most early stage readers will not have encountered before.
There are over 140 titles in the Redback Decodable Library, each with colourful layouts and bright, engaging images that add to the meaning of the text and encourage discussion.
