The Big House

There have been countless reports that children make exceptional progress with the Ladybird Key Words Reading Scheme. The complete scheme consists of 36 titles (a,b and c readers) plus 2 dictionaries and 6 workbooks. The learner starts with book 1a. He/she then reads 1b and 1c. 2a follows, then 2b and 2c and so on, until at the final stage he/she reads 12a,12b and 12c. Phonic teaching starts in book 4c and continues through the c books until 11c. Also linked with the scheme is the Read it Yourself series. These books provide supplementary reading at various levels in the Reading Scheme. Well known folk and fairy stories are retold to give any child pleasure and a sense of achievement.
