3Teacher's notes - introduction to
the serie
The texts
Each book in the series introduces pupils to a wide range of culturally appropriate text
types, including fiction, poetry and non-fiction. The books are carefully graded according
to readability and are incremental in difficulty. The books provide a valuable complement
to any other resources or series currently being used. The fact that each unit is structured
in the same way makes the books accessible and easy to use.
The related activities
The related activities support the development of essential reading skills at Text Level,
encouraging pupils to read at different levels using literal, inferential and evaluative
comprehension skills. The stimulus passages are also used to help pupils develop skills at
Sentence Level (grammar and punctuation) and Word Level (spelling and vocabulary).
The skills, scope and sequence chart
The 'skills, scope and sequence chart' (on pages 2-3) provides an immediate overview of
text types included and skills being developed at Text, Sentence and Word Level. This
chart is very helpful for planning purposes.
Using the books
To gain maximum benefit from the books, it is suggested that they are used
systematically, working through each unit one at a time, in the given order. However, the
books may also be used flexibly, selecting units as desired to complement other work
being done in class.
Tackling the texts
The stimulus texts may be tackled in a variety of ways. They could be used for shared
reading. This could take the form of the teacher reading the whole text to the class or
inviting different pup ils to contribute as appropriate. Certain texts e.g. poems, provide
an ideal opportunity for whole class participation. Alternatively the pupils could be asked
to read the text silently or read it aloud in pairs or in groups. Whatever approach is
used, to make the most of each text it should be discussed to ensure pupils have a good
grasp of the literal meaning of the text and any vocabulary they may not have met
before. Key vocabulary words are printed in bold type, and the Teacher's Book indicates
how these might be dealt with. The related Text Level activities may initially be done as
a class verbally to help pupils reflect on the texts.
Tackling the related activities
The related activities at Text, Sentence and Word Level may be used systematically or
selectively as desired . It is suggested that prior to working any activity there is some
discussion with the pupils to ensure they understand what is required of them.
4Teaching features of the books
Units of work
There are 20 double-page units of work. Each unit is structured in the same way
i.e. a stimulus text, followed by three different levels of activities (Text, Sentence and
Word Level).

High frequency word list
This list includes a number of regularly occurring words at this level. The list may be used
for teaching purposes, ensuring that the words are included in writing and spelling
activities and in reading tasks. The list also may be used as a checklist to see how many
words the pupils can recognise on sight and to identify those which require further
teaching.
