This pack contains two stages of the programme. Levels 1 to 4 provide 24 phonics based readers offering structured progression over four levels. The four levels are engineered to help early readers through the four phases of the UK Letters and Sounds programme, but are fully compatible with any synthetic phonics teaching programme. The reading books can also be used individually and are ideal in setting children on the path to reading.
The book bands levels provide 66 carefully graded texts from pink through to lime. The guided reading books were levelled by reading specialist Shirley Bickler, co-author of the Book Band scheme. Each level contains six titles which are perfect for progressing readers as it starts from 8pp and ends on 32pp. The texts have a clear narrative, the language is natural, the topics interesting and each book is ilustrated with some fantastic graphics from key children's illustrators. These books offer a fresh take on guided reading with carefully designed but fun stories, which children will love.
Some of the books in this pack have been quizzed for Accelerated Reader but not all.The levels given are for the books quizzed.
