Sneak-a-Peek 1

These Sneak-a-Peeks provide new readers with practise in learning new sounds and blending them to make words. They also provide practise with spelling and decoding words that contain the sounds learned in Series 1 of Sounds make Words make Stories. They are particularly good for readers who may be put off by high-frequency sight words, as they only contain 'the'. This allows the reader to completely focus on sounding out. These Sneak-a-Peeks should be used in conjunction with the self-reader books in Series 1, both at the entry and plus levels. This series is also complemented with the read-aloud story books 'Pat and Pip on a Road Trip', 'The King's New Fort' and 'On the Trail of Sid the Snail'. This is a structured, phonics based reading program, that introduces sound groups in a systematic and uncluttered way. It builds confidence and capability in your new reader, by only focusing on new sounds together with those already learned. This program has had success with young readers, stubborn readers, readers with learning difficulties and readers with English as a second language. It has been proven to be an excellent educational tool within schools as well as for home learning.
