Each series in the PhonicBooks Catch-Up Readers collection contains a selection of ten stories, each one focusing on different CVC words and containing a contents page, chapters, a vocabulary list of words used and at the bottom of each page, any new or multisyllable words are split up into manageable syllables for the reader. There is also a page headed ‘reading practice’ to help reinforce the target phoneme.
Saving the Day is part of The Island Adventure series, a beautifully illustrated set of books about the adventures of a family living by the sea.
All these books are well written and illustrated, but also very clearly marked with the relevant CVC and CVCC levels and targeted phoneme making them accessible to teachers and assistants hunting for appropriate and suitable reading material.
Having so many stories in each series will appeal to children who love an adventure to continue, but it also provides consistency and breadth of reading within the same level of ability. A very reliable resource for the classroom.
Jack and his little sister, Snub, are visiting Gran and Grandpa on a remote Scottish island where they live. An accident brings them closer together, but a subsequent calamity is the beginning of an exciting quest.
Starting with the sound ‘ae’, each of the 10 books introduces a phoneme and its alternative spellings.
This series shares the same phonic progression as the Rescue Series and Talisman 1 Series and can be used in parallel.
The Island Series is available on the Accelerated Reader programme.
