The Fresh Start Readers support the Read Write Inc. Fresh Start programme and are designed for independent reading in class or at home, after children have finished the Modules. The books are aligned to the phonic progression of the Modules to ensure children are confident in reading them independently and that they experience success. This Reader contains ten short 'Ditty' texts which align with the phonic focus of the Introductory Module. The Ditties cover a variety of topics, from football, to fishing, to the nighttime adventures of a fox! Each book contains two high-interest fiction or non-fiction texts on topics that will appeal to older readers. There is a variety of genres across the series, including stories, graphic texts, narrative non-fiction and quizzes - so there's something for everyone. The books have a grown-up look and feel that resembles the books their peers are reading. They contain appealing, age-appropriate black and white or two-colour illustrations, and full-colour photos. Crucially, they feel manageable for struggling readers, avoiding large blocks of text and including short chapters and feature words. Independent reading is supported by a page before each text containing the Green Words, Red Words and Challenge Words they will come across in the text.
