A highly structured and the text controlled to words the pupil can now decode, the illustrations and stories are fresh with a contemporary look. Most importantly, pupils aged 8-14 would be willing to engage and even enjoy them.

The Moon Dogs Series offers the older, struggling reader a chance for a fresh start from the very beginning. This series is aimed at older pupils who, mid-programme you discover, do not know the sounds of the alphabet. The books assume that the reader is an absolute beginner. It introduces the sounds of the alphabet, a few letters at a time. While the reader is securing the correct pronunciation, they have an opportunity to practise blending those sounds in CVC words. One to two lines of text on the page ensure that reading success can be achieved within each reading session.

While the phonic progression is highly structured and the text controlled to words the pupil can now decode, the illustrations and stories are fresh with a contemporary look. Most importantly, pupils aged 8-14 would be willing to engage and even enjoy them.
