exceptional progress with the Ladybird Key Words

titles (a, b and c readers) plus2 picture dictionaries and
6 workbooks.
The learner starts with book 1a. He/she then reads 1b
and 1c. 2a follows, then 2b and 2c and so on, until at
the final stage he/she reads 12a, 12b and 12c. Phonic
teaching starts in book 4c and continues through the c
books until 11c.
Also linked with the scheme is the Read it Yourself
series. These books provide supplementary reading at
various levels in the Reading Scheme. Well known folk
and fairy stories are retold to give any child pleasure
and a sense of achievement.
