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 age-appropriate themes, artwork and photographs will appeal to the most reluctant readers while subtle cover design will help readers feel like they are reading a general fiction or non-fiction book and won't make them stand out from their peers.
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.
