This series shares the same phonic progression as both the Talisman 1 and Island Adventure Series and can be used in parallel.  Rescue is a 10 book series aimed towards helping older students learn to read and spell the difficult alternative spellings for the vowel sounds. Starting with the sound ‘ae’, each of the 10 books introduces one phoneme and its alternative spellings. Featuring a female heroine, the books will appeal to both boys and girls alike. This action-packed series features one continuous story when read in sequence, with the conclusion in the final book.
