Big Cat Phonics for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised

Developed by teachers and experts at the Wandle Learning Trust and Little Sutton Primary, Little Wandle Letters and Sounds (Revised) is a comprehensive SSP that includes an online teaching programme, engaging classroom resources, teacher handbooks and fully decodable reading books published by Big Cat. Books are perfectly matched to the Little Wandle progression and the phases of Letters and Sounds (2021). The recently published Set 2, provides a further 84 titles matched to the revised progression, including Stretch and Challenge and Blending Practice books. Phase packs are now available and include books from both sets 1 (Sept 2021) and 2 (Sept 2022).

To find out more about this SSP which is validated by the Department for Education, visit lettersandsounds.org.uk.

Little Wandle: Rapid Catch-up for Age 7+

Released in September 2022, the Little Wandle Rapid Catch-up programme is for children in Year 2 and above who are not reading at the expected level for their age. It mirrors the main phonics programme but has been created to help children catch up quickly, so has a faster pace. By the end of the Rapid Catch-up programme, children should be reading with enough fluency and accuracy to access the curriculum in class, and to read with enjoyment and understanding.

The Rapid Catch-up programme includes:

• A comprehensive teacher’s guide with planning grids, lesson templates and prompt cards.

• Grapheme cards for phases 2, 3 and 5

• Word cards and tricky word cards for all phases

• 50 new decodable books matched exactly to the Rapid Catch-up programme and the maturity of children aged 7+

Little Wandle: Send Programme

Little Wandle SEND is a complete programme that mirrors the main Big Cat Phonics for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised programme but with adaptations and support in place that make it possible for schools, special schools and SEND providers to meet the needs of all their learners.

It has been created to help children learn to read with the right level of challenge and uses a graduated approach, if needed. The programme includes a comprehensive teacher’s guide, embossed grapheme cards to give sensory feedback, grapheme mats and enlarged word / tricky word cards. These robust and specially adapted resources are ideal for individual, group, or whole class use.

Big Cat

One of the most popular schemes in schools today and a favourite of ours too, Collins Big Cat stands alone in its quality and design. The Big Cat books are varied and offer pupils breadth in their overall reading experience. Starting out with predictable and patterned texts, titles broaden to poetry, traditional tales, varied genre fiction, information books, playscripts and biographies from a host of popular children’s authors. Each book looks unique and enticing, guaranteeing your pupils never get bored of reading their Big Cat scheme books.

Big Cat Progress is here to support your key stage 2 struggling readers, ensuring that your pupils practise their reading skills with books that appeal to their maturity. Each title features illustrations, photographs and subject matter suitable for KS2 children at an accessible KS1 book band level. These 28 books are specially designed to give children aged 7+ books that re-introduce and practice the phonics covered in Phases 3–5 of Letters and Sounds . These decodable fiction and non-fiction books, in Blue and Green book band, contain age-appropriate content and more mature images to help engage older readers.

There are no reading or interest ages printed on the books, only book band colours. For example, the colour tabs left show Green and Copper, where Green depicts the reading age and Copper the interest age.

Created by leading educational publisher Pearson, and validated by the Department for Education, Bug Club Phonics are an ideal resource to capture the imagination of readers from an early age. The SSP introduces phonemes and graphemes systematically following a similar progression to the phases of Letters and Sounds and enables pupils to practise and build on the phonics they are taught in class. All printed books match the digital books on the Bug Club Phonics digital platform ensuring all children have a real, rich and rewarding reading experience. Books supplied by Pandora will have a longer life in school wearing their fully fitted protective jacket. To bring phonics to life in the classroom, Pearson have introduced a range of printed classroom resources including sound cards, picture friezes, sound mats and posters.

Reading Planet Rocket Phonics SSP

The DfE validated Rocket Phonics SSP programme is based on the familiar, original Letters and Sounds progression and phasing. It then builds in best practise to ensure teaching in class reflects the fidelity to the programme required by Ofsted, so that all children make the progress they need. Designed for whole class teaching with the flexibility to allow for small groups, this programme follows a slower paced, more rigorous approach than existing phonics programmes as it covers two letter-sounds per week. Created by recognised phonics experts, Abi Steel and Debbie Hepplewhite, the excellent value training programme has been trialled in schools to ensure effectiveness. Schools can purchase the online subscription directly from Rising Stars at www.risingstars-uk.com/ reading. The accompanying reading books are attractive and are designed to encourage reading for pleasure as well as mastery of technical skills. Write-in Pupil Practice Booklets provide daily practice of fundamental reading and writing skills. Each booklet covers a term of phonics teaching and provides activities for decoding and segmenting.

Reading Planet

Blast off to the Reading Planet with this exciting reading scheme from trusted educational publisher, Rising Stars. This unique reading scheme is based upon educational research from Coventry University, which identifies that rhythm, stresses, rhymes and intonation go hand-in-hand with phonological awareness, decoding, comprehension and fluency. Reading Planet is expertly and beautifully produced and comes in four unique strands, to build your pupils’ reading confidence. Lilac contains wordless books from the Lift Off series, along with first words in Lift Off Plus enabling your pupils to develop the essential skills needed to begin reading. The Pink A to White packs contain a mix of the Rocket Phonics (perfectly aligned to Letters and Sounds ), Comet Street and Galaxy series whilst the Turquoise to Lime collections are made up of Comet Street and Galaxy books.

Little Blending

Little Blending books specifically follow the phases of the updated Letters and Sounds phonics programme and support Oxford’s new SSP programme, Essential Letters and Sounds. The books help children practice blending sounds together to make words. After blending a word, they can turn the page to see the image and see if they got it right.

Traditional Tales

Sample pages taken from Little Blending Book 10

Sample pages taken from Right for Me Book Band level: Yellow

Beautifully illustrated, rich and varied traditional tales from all around the world are told in a fully decodable and engaging way. Story maps and inside cover notes are also included in these quality books. The books are ideal to use as wider reading for schools following an SSP that uses the Letters and Sounds progression including Essential Letters and Sounds.

Sample pages taken from Little Blending Book 14

WORD Sparks

The Word Sparks series combines explicit emphasis on extending vocabulary with systematic synthetic phonics practice aligned to the Letters and Sounds sets. Children will learn new vocabulary at the same time as developing their decoding skills, fluency and comprehension. At each book band and ORT level there are eight expertly-written, colourful Word Sparks books. The Lilac to Orange sets each contain four regular fully decodable texts with focus word boxes prompting adults to discuss the story and introduce new vocabulary to the child. In addition, four partner books feature parallel texts — one page to be read by the child (fully decodable) and one by the adult, thus extending vocabulary and opening up discussion. Within the Turquoise to Lime+ sets, eight regular texts are designed to support comprehension and fluency, plus covering a range of genres from funny stories and folk tales to non-fiction. Extensive notes are provided on the inside covers and a handy list of GPCs (grapheme-phoneme correspondence) and common words are printed on the back cover for ease of matching phonic learning and the appropriate books to each reader. The books are decodable and are ideal to use as wider reading for schools following an SSP that uses the Letters and Sounds progression including Essential Letters and Sounds.

Project

Floppy’s Phonics Teaching Programme

An easy-to-use synthetic phonics teaching programme that engages children from the outset. Perfect for schools that want high-quality phonics resources for effective and consistent teaching. Developed with prolific author, trainer and advisor on synthetic phonics, Debbie Hepplewhite MBE.

These engaging ‘Sounds’ books are used one between two in the classroom as part of the teaching process, so a typical one-form entry school would buy a complete set containing 15 of each title. Larger schools will need to double up or timetable learning to facilitate sharing between classes.

Literacy and learning

Reading non-fiction for information and learning is an essential life skill. There is no better way to equip children for the rigours of secondary school, and life beyond, than to promote the reading of non-fiction. Our topic collections are packed with exciting books which closely support the curriculum to make reading them relevant and fun.

Our aim is to provide exciting collections for every key curriculum area, to help you to provide a library where children can extend and reinforce their topic knowledge; where teachers can find great books for their current topic; and to enable pupils to choose from a variety of text styles, to explore a topic independently, and then come together to share what they have discovered.

We all know that great non-fiction book collections beat reading the same hand-out or whiteboard slide hands down in terms of pupil engagement and depth of learning, but it is also an expensive investment. For this reason, we have developed top-up packs for History, Geography and Science and provide paperbacks fitted with protective jackets, free of charge, where possible.
