The core and extended sets each include 40 books, whereas support set includes 47 books. The extra seven books are for the Sound Waves Spelling units where more than one grapheme is taught for the focus phoneme. For example, ai, ay and a_e for the phoneme /ai/ as in snail.
Typically in support, one focus grapheme is featured per book to reduce the cognitive load for students. Whereas in core and extended, the corresponding books include multiple graphemes for the focus phoneme. To see the instances where support books split the focus graphemes across several books read the Scope and Sequence.
Unlike other Decodable Readers, ours come in three levels of difficulty. As every classroom is different, we didn’t want to prescribe a set amount of support, core and extended sets for a class. Instead you can build the combination of sets to suit your class. For example, if you have several struggling readers, you will want to order plenty of support sets. Whereas, if you have several skilled readers, you will want to have plenty of extended sets on hand.
