First in a five-book series which is designed for children who need extra support and a small steps approach and which complements any phonics programme. Book 1 provides a good start to learning about grapheme-phoneme correspondence: it concentrates on the letters of the alphabet and their sounds. The clear layout and instructions enable independent working, and there is plenty of practice at each stage, making the sheets useful for literacy intervention. Each book has over 100 worksheets, is suitable for a wide age-range and is ideal for homework. 4 other books available. 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.

Colourful semantics to go with 23 CVC words.
I split these into 4 words per week (one week, has 3 words) and we work on spelling these words and using them in sentences, but this can be easily adapted if you wanted to use more words per week.
