Fiction

  • Superb illustrations by Beano artist David Mostyn will amuse children and help make reading fun.
  • Gripping stories set in a space school by a 'real book' author, Paul Shipton, will absorb the most demotivated readers.

Trackers Fiction matches the quality of any mainstream resource and gives struggling readers the motivation and interest to want to read. Trackers also teaches and practises more of the key reading skills than any other SEN course, e.g. high frequency words, phonics, syntax and semantics. The teaching support, high quality PCMs in the Teacher's Guides to Guided Reading Booklets, has been written for the range of adults who work with struggling readers.
