Reading Schemes for KS2

Publishers offer a range of reading schemes suitable for children in key stage 2 (school years 3 to 6). This will include book bands from Brown to Black. We also offer a range of catch-up phonics intervention schemes for key stage 2, where publishers have specifically designed age-appropriate materials that appeal to the maturity of older children who need to revise and consolidate their phonic knowledge.  If you choose to order your books from Pandora, they will be supplied fitted with FREE protective jackets, so that they last much longer.
