Introducing you to our brand new ‘Mission Spelling Zero’ scheme. Help your child/ren to take their first steps in reading and spelling, with this exciting structured course. Mission Spelling Zero is a series of books in 7 levels, one for each colour of the rainbow, aimed to help young learners gain first reading and spelling skills. First, let me introduce you to a new character that your child/ren will love learning with. He is an innovation – an alien from a distant planet – but a wizard when it comes to his computer skills. There is no problem he cannot solve. Zoggy will introduce your child/ren to the initial sounds - in his own stories and then build on that base, teaching double consonant blends and vowel digraphs. When your child moves up the levels of the rainbow his phonic skills will be a tool that will accelerate future learning. ‘Mission Spelling Zero’ also offers a new, exciting series of writing booklets – so your little learners can practice their hand writing skills, write first sentences and play the games which will consolidate their learning.

Grace Darling The Famous Heroine (6-9 years)

Grace Darling The Famous Heroine (6-9 years)

(0)
The child is asked to read the text, to put Grace’s story in order and then to answer some questions. The last question focuses on the meaning of words used in the text and the child then writes his or her own non fiction piece about Grace Darling and another famous person. The child also works through punctuation exercises - putting in capital letters, full stops and question marks. Let’s Practise Our Reading Comprehension Packs are a valuable resource to help the child practise essential reading comprehension skills. Each pack includes an article for the child to read and then a series of questions. They are ideal for use with 6-9 year olds, who have reached some degree of reading fluency. The articles ask the child to retrieve facts, explain information and develop their own ideas as to what the writer is implying. Each pack contains vocabulary exercises, encouraging the child to search for words or phrases with the same meaning. Each pack takes the form of a mini topic or project. 17 pages

For older children, aged 5-7 (who have some reading skills), get the child to read the story and answer the questions in sentences.
