SERIES INFORMATION

Striders Phonics Readers are a collection of 32 high-low
phonically decodable books for readers aged 7+ with a reading
age of 4 to 6. These expertly levelled consolidation readers are
perfect for sending home to support classroom teaching, and are exactly
matched to Little Wandle Rapid Catch-up with focus sounds
following the same progression, and each set of books revising the
sounds found in previous sets.

The series of phonically decodable readers includes diverse and
inclusive artwork and photography and includes features such as
chapters and recurring characters (fiction) and contents and headings
(non-fiction) to be more consistent with what their friends
and peers are reading.

Each book also contains 'how to use the book' notes to help an
adult support the child's reading along with a character page for
fiction titles to orient the reader or a contents page for non-fiction
titles.

The fiction books are split into four mini-series with reoccurring
characters while the non-fiction are stand-alone titles with
a summary page at the end to encourage discussion.
