Description

 

What are Catch-up Readers?

Catch-up readers are decodable, systematic phonic reading books for older readers

Interest Age: 8 to 14+

 

80% of struggling readers have a gap in phonics knowledge. Phonics books fill in these missing gaps. They are designed for older students who may have already experienced reading failure. Since many of these students also experience loss of confidence and low self-esteem, Phonics Books develop confident, independent reading strategies.

 

Included in each series:

    • Systematic (sequenced) phonic progression
    • Age-appropriate illustrations and story lines
    • Reading practice page which prepares the student for reading the text
    • Vocabulary page to develop receptive and expressive language
    • Reader-friendly layout

Each of the series engage students in action-packed stories, while introducing step-by-step decodable phonics skills. Each series is supported by a photocopiable workbook (sold separately) that provides a variety of skill based activities.

Totem Book Series

 

Written by Tami Reis-Frankfort and Illustrated by Drew Wilson

After being kidnapped by two men, Zak’s adventure begins, as his staff acquires special powers.

 

 

 

This series shares the same phonic progression as the Alba Series and can be used in parallel. Totem is a 12 book series, taking students from CVC and CVCC word level text, and progressing through adjacent consonants, consonant digraphs, and alternative vowel spellings.  This adventure will appeal to older readers who struggle with reading and would benefit from a beginning phonics program.  This series features one continuous story when read in sequence, with the conclusion in the final book.
