About

These 36 books cover over 300 high-frequency Key Words to practice reading 'on sight'. They are designed for steady progression to support independent reading.

"Key Words with Peter and Jane" uses the most frequently met words in the English language as a starting point for learning to read successfully and confidently. The Key Words reading scheme is scientifically researched and world-renowned. Book 1a introduces Peter and Jane in 16 new words including 'and', 'I', 'likes' and 'has'. Once this book has been completed, the child moves on to book 1b. "The Key Words with Peter and Jane Books" work because each of the key words is introduced gradually and repeated frequently. This builds confidence in children when they recognize these key words on sight (also known as the 'look and say' method of learning). Examples of keywords are, ‘the’, ‘one’, ‘two’, ‘he’. There are 12 levels, each with 3 books: a, b, and c. "Series a" gradually introduces new words. "Series b" provides further practise of words featured in "The 'a' Series". "Series c" links reading with writing and phonics. All the words that have been introduced in each 'a' and 'b' book are also reinforced in the 'c' books.

As children work through these books in order from 1a to 12c, they will grow in reading ability and confidence, developing word-recognition and phonics skills to become fluent, independent readers.
