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 follow one of the most commonly used validated SSPs in primary schools, with focus sounds following the same progression, and each set of books revising the sounds found in previous sets.

Scholastic considers these books suitable for children learning using the Wandle Learning Trust’s Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised phonics programme. Scholastic is not part of Wandle Learning Trust, nor are our products approved for use with the Little Wandle Letters & Sounds Revised phonics programme by the Wandle Learning Trust.

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.
