The reading scheme will be linked to Language Tree, so that topics and characters familiar to teachers and students can be used. The scheme can also be used independently with other Language Arts courses. Strong emphasis on phonics, repetition, alliteration, simple vocabulary at the lower levels. Focus on the Infant years where the need for reading practice is greatest. Contemporary stories and artwork Photographs will be included: they are essential to meet syllabus requirements of associating reading material with real life
