This document provides information about sorting decodable readers according to the Synthetic Phonics Spelling program (SSP). It recommends free readers from SPELD SA and Oxford Owl that have been sorted into SSP levels. It also lists the order of letters and sounds taught in the SSP program and notes that one decodable reader only contains words using the letters s, a, t, i, m, n, o, p. Instructions are given to look at the SSP teaching order to determine which code level box a reader belongs in, with examples provided.
