Moving on with Reading

Moving on with Reading builds on the sounds children already know from either the Tom or Jack stories, teaching new phonic sounds through the words that contain them. Every word is fully decodable — children will never meet a sound they haven't already been taught — and repeated practice turns this knowledge into fluent, confident reading.
Along the way, reading passages introduce children to a wide range of subjects and poems, interspersed with stories.

Help to read multisyllabic words

Many children need targeted support to read multisyllabic words. Here is the Reading Made Simple strategy. You can download the pack today for FREE.

For those who would prefer not to use our reading book:

The following sounds should be taught in order Left to right.

The words on each list should be studied until the child knows them and can read them easily.
Total = 26 lessons
It is not necessary to stay on a sound for a whole week.
Be guided by your child's progress and move on to the next sound when ready.

Study these lists well. 

​Method:

• Take a list at a time.
• Tell your pupil the common sound.
• Have the child identify the common sound in the words.
• Help the child to identify any other phonic family to which the word belongs, e.g. tongue as 'o' saying /u/.
• Help the child to chunk the word to decode it as indicated if need be.
• Have the child read the list three times in each sitting.
• Practice daily until the child can read the words easily.
