Reading together · Beginning readers

Little sounds.
A whole world of stories.

An adult-led pathway from first sounds to short stories. Say it, blend it, spell it, then read it in a story.

16 original starter lessons · no timer · printable home practice

Teach together

Open the adult lesson guide. Model the sounds, check understanding, and practise before independent work.

Read what you have learnt

Passages use the word bank introduced so far, with irregular words taught explicitly.

Keep the next step small

Spelling, meaning and an adult reading observation guide the next lesson. Revisit any lesson whenever it helps.

Your reading pathway

Start at lesson 1, or let a teacher choose a familiar starting point. Completing a screen alone does not establish reading fluency.
