LEVEL 1: For children who have learnt or are
starting to learn their basic phonics (a-z). Can be used alongside other reading schemes, especially the 'Start Reading Phonics Level 1' ebook series.
PHONICS (Letters and their sounds): Due to its use of phonics this book is more accessible at an earlier age than other "reading series" that rely heavily on sight words. Phonics is taught before all other reading strategies in schools and these books follow the same system.
TRICKY WORDS (SIGHT WORDS): Children need to, learn to recognise as whole words. These are words that cannot be broken down into phonics at this stage of a child's learning. "Tricky" (sight) words are introduced slowly to build a child's knowledge gradually so they can retain it.
- Full Screen - Optimised to fill 100% of the screen.
This series follows the recommended order to teach children phonics under the "Letters and Sounds" scheme (DfES - Primary National Strategy) that most UK Primary Schools use to teach phonics.
