Zip it!

Red Squirrel Phonics is a new series of decodable readers from Raintree, packed with real stories and non-fiction texts using words that children can read.The programme teaches children phonics skills in a sequential and systematic way so that they can learn the sounds (phonemes) and the letters that represent them (graphemes) and then practise and apply this knowledge through reading appealing, decodable texts that make sense.This ensures that every beginner reader will experience success in their reading from their very first book!In this Level 5 Set 2b book focusing on adjacent consonants with short vowels, learn all about zips!We probably all have clothes or other items that have zips to open and close.But have there always been zips?
