The first 45 words are gradually introduced in this series of reading books. The main character, Zed, is a little green alien. In trials pupils have found these stories motivating and enjoyable. The teacher book, which sets the scene, includes all 45 words and is also supported with symbols for use in shared reading with an adult.
The whole set is provided in two formats: The learning mode has all words supported and the revision mode has only the non HFQ words illustrated. Each book has flash cards at the back for the target words and a place to record progress or write notes. Excellent for home/school liaison.
Total set has 38 books
Print these little books for readers to have their own copies to take home and practice.
