Set 3: Alphabet, Blends & Plural Intro

Set 3 finishes the consonant alphabet. Nine decodable books map to UFLI Lessons 26 through 34, introducing l, w, j, y, x, qu, v, and z, while continuing to weave in blends and the sounds already taught in Sets 1 and 2. Children who have completed Set 2 are ready for this stage.

Structured Literacy and Science of Reading aligned, 100% UFLI compatible. Featured by SPELD NZ, listed on Lifting Literacy Aotearoa's recommended decodable directory, and reviewed by Dyslexia Evidence Based.

What Set 3 covers: the final consonants and early blends

Lost! and Slug in a Cup! (Lessons 26 and 27) cover l in two parts. The Twins (Lesson 28, w), Jim (Lesson 29, j), Yin and Yan (Lesson 30, y), On the Box! (Lesson 31, x), Do Not Quit! (Lesson 32, qu), At the Vet (Lesson 33, v), and Zog (Lesson 34, z) round out the set. By the second half of Set 3, words carry consonant blends and clusters alongside the new single sounds, continuing the same phonics progression used in UFLI Foundations.

Built for small-group instruction and home practice

Classroom bundles include multiple copies of each title for differentiated reading groups. Homeschool families can use Set 3 as the next stage after Set 2 in any structured phonics sequence, whatever program they started with. Dyslexia-friendly typography and spacing carry through every title, and each book ships with a free bonus phonics game.
