Reading Made Simple Level 1: Book 1 - Tom Stories Course

Reading Made Simple Level 1, Book 1: CK to OR

A complete structured literacy course

Help all children learn to read and spell. This is the first part of the Reading Made Simple Level 1 phonics programme, covering the sounds CK, OO, EE, SH, CH, ND/NT, NK, TH, NG, ING, AR and OR. It works for children of all ages and abilities, including those who need a much slower pace.

Easy to teach, as easy as possible to learn

Everything is carefully structured to reduce the working memory load, so learning is as easy as possible. The teaching method is simple and requires minimal teacher prep.

This is a complete course, not just phonics books. Systematic phonics, integrated spelling and embedded morphology are taught through engaging decodable stories with beloved farm characters.

What’s included

• Teaching manual
• Decodable stories for all twelve sounds, as an ebook [and in an A4 print-once format]
• Worksheets for every lesson
• Video lessons for each lesson
• Resources pack [phonics flashcards, word lists and odd word (sight word) flashcards, if these are in this course]

Who it’s for

Designed with real pupils, it suits homeschool and classroom use, and it works for all learners - even those who need a slower pace.

Part of a bigger programme

This course follows on from the Level 0 CVC and consonant blends courses. Further books covering the later sounds will follow in the same format, and all courses will be available together in the full Reading Made Simple bundle.
