Description
Key Words with Peter and Jane is a renowned reading scheme that uses frequently used English words as a foundation for learning to read confidently. The scheme is scientifically researched and includes 12 levels, each with 3 books (a, b, c). Series a introduces new words, series b provides further practice, and series c links reading with writing and phonics. Book 8c connects writing with the words used in Readers 8a and 8b and prepares children to progress to book 9a. The books are effective because they introduce key words gradually and repeat them often, building children's confidence through recognition (the 'look and say' method).
