Year 1 Decodable Readers – 12-Book Set

Build confident decoding and reading fluency with the complete Lux Mentium Year 1 Decodable Readers Printed Set.

This printed set contains all 12 Year 1 decodable readers, progressing systematically from Stage 1.1 to Stage 1.12. Written by a NSW classroom teacher and aligned to the NSW syllabus.

Who it’s for

Year 1 teachers, learning support staff, tutors and parents. Ideal once children can read CVC words and are ready for long vowels and alternative spellings.

Each reader focuses on one phoneme and its common spellings, giving children explicit practice before they apply it in connected text. The series moves children from knowing single sounds to recognising alternative spellings, blending accurately and reading fluently.

How to use it (10 minutes a day)

1. Review the focus sound and its spellings.
2. Read the focus words together.
3. Read the story.
4. Reread the next day for fluency.
