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+

Reading Books

A set of 114 phonic reading books is now available for Reception and Year 1 pupils, to support Knowledge Trust’s DfE validated SSP, Essential Letters and Sounds. All books tie in with planned lessons over the teaching weeks in the programme, which mirrors the progression of Letters and Sounds (2007)

Expertly published by Oxford, these books specifically practise the GPC’s learned each week and build gradually and systematically. There are two newly published series and strands for Essential Letters and Sounds; Essential Blending Books simply help young children to blend phonemes and Essential Phonic Readers consolidate taught GPC’s through engaging decodable stories and non-fiction. Subscription to Essential Letters and Sounds will provide guidance on when to ‘unlock’ each reading book in the ELS programme.

These quality readers are diverse and include exciting fiction and non-fiction texts that are representative and inclusive. Reading books could also be matched to a Letters and Sounds (2007) based reading programme as the books show GPCs covered on the back cover.

The complete pack contains one copy of each of the Essential Letters and Sounds books (114) fully fitted with a protective book jacket, free of charge, to help books last longer in school.

These five series of decodable books published by leading educational publisher Oxford are ideal for adding breadth to your existing SSP, and work brilliantly alongside any Letters and Sounds based reading programme. If your school is using Essential Letters and Sounds these books can be used to review learning, building confidence and fluency before children move on. Individual colour band packs are available to purchase online. As always, all our books are supplied fitted with free protective jackets so they last longer in school.

KEEP BOYS READING IN Years 3 & 4

There are patterns in reading progression that we all recognise, and one distinct habit is for many, though not all, boys to seek out repetition in reading. This may mean reading 42 Beast Quests in a row, or the same book over again. There can be benefits of this repetition but gently drawing them away from the familiar can promote progression and broaden their reading. These collections have been designed to be deliciously tempting and provide reading progression in each year group.

Literacy and learning

Are you looking for the best topic books available to support learning in KS1 and KS2? All our topic book collections have been designed by a team with extensive knowledge of the primary school curriculum and a passion for non-fiction and the full range of subject areas. These collections comprise our recommendations for the best children’s books on each curriculum subject. All books are relevant, exciting and will support you in ensuring that your pupils’ learning is engaging and stimulating. We offer larger collections that will invigorate your library for a whole key stage and smaller, targeted collections that are ideal for focused study on a topic or for selecting the best children’s books for non-fiction reading. Our aim is 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 that enables pupils to choose from a variety of text styles, to explore a topic independently, and then come together to share what they have discovered.

Look out for…

Stone Age, Bronze Age & Iron Age Britain

Explore prehistoric sites in the UK and discover how early invaders and settlers shaped Britain with their customs, burial mounds, warriors and weapons.
