SERIES INFORMATION
Scholastic Phonics Catch-up Readers are a brand-new collection
of 32 phonically decodable reading books for ages 7 to 14. These
expertly levelled consolidation readers are for use at home to support
classroom teaching, and are exactly matched to Little Wandle
Letters & Sounds Revised with focus sounds following the same
progression, and each set of books revising the sounds found in previous
sets.
The series of phonically decodable readers includes diverse and
inclusive artwork and photography and includes features such as
chapters and recurring characters (fiction) and contents and headings
(non-fiction) to be more consistent with what their friends
and peers are reading.
Each book also contains 'how to use the book' notes to help an
adult support the child's reading along with a character page for
fiction titles to orient the reader or a contents page for non-fiction
titles.
The fiction books are split into four mini-series with reoccurring
characters while the non-fiction are stand-alone titles with
a summary page at the end to encourage discussion.
