Karen at The Letterpress Project has recently reviewed two of our ten new pink and red band Early Readers which were published on the 28th of May. The two titles are Viv the Vet and Top Dog by Katie Dale and I Can Get It and Hop In! by Jenny Jinks. Here’s what she had to say:
‘The plots in reading scheme books are often pretty dull, especially as so much repetition is needed but these two little stories are quite eventful.Â
I like the way that each band is written and illustrated by different people which provides good variety. Attention has also been paid to using the lively, colourful illustrations across each double page spread which helps the reader to move from left to right, and sometimes from top to bottom.
It is clear that this is a reading scheme that has been very carefully designed and takes into account the language style and phonics and has been produced with advice from a leading educational consultant.
As a former Early Years teacher, I remain impressed with this series of reading books and would confidently recommend it to current teachers and to parents as well.’
Thank you, Karen!
