Description Jolly Phonics Folktales Readers are retellings of traditional folktales from around the world. Red Level Books (first level) use decodable regular words and a small number of tricky words. All new tricky words and alternative vowel spellings used are shown on the front inside cover. These can be used as a quick practice activity before starting the book. Comprehension questions and discussion topics are included at the end of the book. These ensure that students are not only able to read the text, but also get meaning from it.
