Description
Male and female lead characters in a fast-pitched adventure story!
The Rescue series of 10 stories offers an exciting fresh start for older pupils with gaps in their phonic knowledge. Following the same progression as the Talisman 1 series, Rescue offers parallel reading at this level.
The series introduces the vowel sounds and their alternative spellings (following Phase 5 of the ‘Letters and Sounds’ programme).
Each book offers alternative spellings for one of the following vowel sounds:
‘ae’, ‘ee’, ‘oe’, ‘er’, ‘ow/oi’, ‘oo’, ‘ie’, ‘or’, ‘air’ and  ‘ar’
Each book in the series offers reading practice, vocabulary and help with splitting multisyllable words.
These 16 page stories, with exciting, original illustrations in full colour, are specifically designed to appeal to struggling or reluctant readers.
A workbook based on the series offers a comprehensive programme of work and games for teachers and teaching assistants.
