Rainbow Readers is a reading programme, which works alongside main reading programmes to develop early reading skills and to help those children struggling to keep up. The 26 books each take a letter of the alphabet in turn as the starting point for a story. The books work slowly, taking a letter at a time and using reinforcement and repetition. The vocabulary concentrates on the 200 high frequency words. Each book uses a limited number of new words. The next book in the alphabet then uses these words and introduces some new words, so that the childrens' vocabulary grows incrementally at a measured pace. The series is therefore ideal for children to gradually develop their reading skills at their own pace.The books also include a range of support materials which relate directly to the National Literacy Framework and include the basic phonic strategies.
