This is because of difficulties with:

• all the ways to spell the focus sound are in one place
• stories provide the context for phonics to make sense
• easy to follow word family patterns
• focus sound words are grouped in lists from simple to complex
• tricky sight words are grouped into a focus sound
• rhyming stories help with predicting and memory
• recalling spelling is much easier from a story than from a spelling list
