The 4 Read, Find, Write books are ideal for the crucial stage when children start to segment and blend words and learn high-frequency words. The series is progressive, with Book 1 using short phrases and a small number of first words and Book 4 using sentences and 100 common words. The sheets have been successfully used with KS1 and 2 children, who really enjoyed using them. The graded books are suitable for all beginner readers. The straightforward layout and slow, steady progression make the books particularly suitable for children struggling with literacy, who can use the sheets independently. This series fits in well with ‘Letters and Sounds’: the 4 books cover the 100 first words. Each book includes dictation and record/assessment sheets. Previously sold through Easylearn.

The three Read and Think books encourage poor readers, especially older pupils, to read sentences and simple texts and understand what they read. Book 1 concentrates on short, simple sentences. Book 2 looks at short narrative and informative texts and includes timetables and a calendar. Book 3 deals with short and medium-length narrative and informative texts. In each of the three books, pupils must understand the sentences or texts they read in order to perform the tasks and this ensures text comprehension. The 25 sheets in each book contain a variety of tasks which appeal to a range of pupils, including older, poor readers. Pupils are encouraged to deduce, infer, and interpret information and events. Vocabulary is limited to high-frequency words and the emphasis is on reading: very little writing is required. Previously available through Easylearn.
