Moon Dogs Series Catch Up Reading Books

Moon Dogs Series Catch Up Reading Books

Designed to appeal to older 'Catch-up' pupils at the very early stages of reading.

Reading skills are developed through step by step progression, allowing practice and consolidation at each level.

The series is designed around a group of teenage friends who are in a band and offers short, humorous stories about their lives. Reading skills are developed through step-by-step progression which allows practice and consolidation at each level. With three sets to choose from, Set 1 introduces sounds gradually and reinforces reading these in CVC words and follows phase 2 and 4 of Letters and Sounds. All words are at CVC level with one line of text to the page. Set 2 begins with text at CVC level and continues through the digraphs ch, sh, th, ck, ng, qu and wh and follows phase 2 and 4 of Letters and Sounds. Set 3 introduces two spellings for a vowel sound and follows phase 3-5 of Letters and Sounds. Ideal for dyslexic readers as the story text is set against a cream background, that reduces visual stress and helps to facilitate reading, as a white background can be too dazzling. The font style and font size are clear and accessible.
