National Literacy Strategy

The Beginner Levels are designed to teach early reading skills and essential sight vocabulary in the context of the Literacy Hour, with materials for shared and guided reading. The Beginner Teacher's Notes and Copymasters provide full support of the National Literacy Strategy.

Key Stage 1 materials are completely in-line with the NLS, and include extra-large big books for shared reading and a wide selection of books for group reading. The New Edition Teacher's Resource Book contains NLS Notes and the Revised Copymasters provide activities for text, sentence and word-level work. A grid at the back of each fiction book gives suggestions for text, sentence and word-level work in line with the NLS.

At Key Stage 2, term-by-term, large-size text extracts are available for shared work, and more titles have been added for guided reading, making a total of 94 titles covering a range of genres. New editions of the Teacher's Resource Books (one for each KS2 year) include NLS teaching notes and activities for text, sentence and word-level work. A grid at the back of each fiction book gives suggestions for text, sentence and word-level work in line with the NLS.

"We're pleased it fits so well for our Literacy Hour - and our children love the books!"

Scotland

The Longman Book Project has been used with great success throughout Scotland and is highly recommended by many teachers and advisers. A Fiction Teacher's Resource Book specifically for P1-3 is now available. The new editions of the Teacher's Resource Books which cover both Key Stage 2 and P4-7 are now available.

"The Longman Book Project is ideal for Early Intervention and The 5-14 Guidelines. It offers a unique entrance to literacy."
