Designed to appeal to the older reluctant reader with exciting and motivating stories and illustrations. Follows phase 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Letters & Sounds. A highly structured, cumulative series of 12 books providing essential phonic foundations that a 'catch up' reader will need. These books have an interest age of 8-14 with a reading age of KS1. Can also be used with the Accelerated Reader program. Can be used in parallel with the Alba Series and follows on from the Magic Belt Series. Ideal for dyslexic readers as the story text is set against a cream background, that reduces visual stress and helps to facilitate reading, as a white background can be too dazzling.
