Maverick Early Readers: Pink to Yellow Reception

Maverick Early Reading Scheme books are new to this marketplace but they pack a real punch. Absolute winners for children, these books have a spine, are beautifully illustrated in bright, engaging colours and fun characters fill every story. Aside from the stunning look and feel of these books there is quality writing at the heart and a team of expert consultants, including Suzanne Baker, original author of Book Bands for Guided Reading, 1998, Institute of Education, making certain that Maverick Reading Scheme books follow the book bands guidelines and in the earlier levels books also follow Letters and Sounds Phases 1 to 5. For each book band level from Pink to Blue there is a clear structure of progression in terms of introducing phonics, high-frequency words, maximum numbers of non-decodable words and sentences per page. For Green to Orange books children practise their decoding with more confidence. As well as more high-frequency words being introduced, stories become a little more complex in their plot and each book features a simple quiz that can be taken at the end of the story.
