Kim likes pop. Sam likes rock. Sam talks A LOT! Will Sam ever stop? Not Pop Not Rock is a low level phonics reading book. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 149-word fiction story features a fully decodable text, suitable for struggling teen and adult readers.

Not Pop Not Rock uses a carefully limited set of letters and sounds to make up all the words. (For UK schools this relates to Phase 2 of Letters and Sounds, the UK Government's synthetic phonics reading programme.)

Not Pop Not Rock is part of Ransom's Neutron Stars, a structured reading programme for teens and adults learning the basics of reading. The series offer progression through ten levels of reading, four phonics and six coloured book bands.

More information on the structure of the scheme can be found here.

Neutron Stars Pack contains all thirty books from the structured reading programme. These titles make up four Phonics levels that cover Phases Two to Five of the Letters and Sounds programme and six Book Band levels (Pink, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange).
Neutron Stars is designed for teens/adults who need low level reading support, containing fresh, modern books in 'trade paperback' format for instant older appeal. The series includes fiction and non-fiction titles that are age appropriate both in terms of topics and story lines, as well as illustrations and photos.
Appealing to boys and girls, this series is fantastic for engaging all older struggling readers while systematically guiding their literacy skills.
