Guinea Pig Education is proud to be launching an exciting, new revolutionary phonic reading scheme. Learn To Read With Phonics teaches reading rapidly, in as little as six months PROVEN! Children love reading about the humorous adventures of Sam and his friends. They hardly realise that within each fun story are disguised phonic sounds. Learning to read with Guinea Pig has never been so easy or so much fun.
This exciting scheme has been written by a Surrey teacher and tutor catering for the needs of the children she teaches. The scheme works well with young children Books 1-6 are a structured course that systematically introduces new sounds, each one building on the ones that went before.
Book 6, the last book in the series, includes sounds like ‘ough’, ‘all’, ‘ought’, ‘gue’, ‘que’, ‘ine’, ‘ue’, ‘ew’, ‘ul’, ‘el’, ‘le’, ‘ee’, ‘ie’, ‘ei’, ‘tion’ and suffixes and prefixes. The child is encouraged to read each sound chapter several times and to learn the words using the matching activities with the help of an adult. When he or she is familiar with the material they can move on. By the end of Book 6, the child will be able to read ‘solo’ reading books by renowned authors for children of 8 years or above recommended by leading retailers.

The Pom Pom series offers a fun approach to creative writing for younger children (who have obtained some degree of reading fluency). Our books showcase two delightful dog characters, Pom Pom and her new friend, the Naughty Dog. In a series of four short books, our young readers enter a dog’s world and meet their people and their homes. They embark on a series of doggy adventures, empathising with the dogs.
The books encourage the children to build on the stories by completing lots of fun writing activities and word games, including word searches and mazes. They are encouraged to search for answers to clues and complete stories by adding their own ideas. The Pom Pom series are not activity books, but they are educational material that stimulate children’s imagination and provide a light hearted approach to writing. They are supplementary writing activities which can be done to gain confidence in writing at any time, in any place. These books are designed to be flexible. If your child is too young, or unable to fill it in themselves, why not discuss the answers and fill it in together.
The books will help a child learn quite a lot about caring for dogs, if they do not already know. As well as this, the books explore feelings and emotions in our pets, such as anxiety separation.
