Following the launch of our new series of children™s reading books, The College Collection, we are pleased to share with you the free accompanying teacher notes.
The College Collection centres around five main characters, Luca, Anda, Jim Jam, Woody and Nolan. They are from different backgrounds and first meet at Parkfield College, where they are studying for a BTEC in Media Studies. They quickly become friends. The College Collection follows them through their time at Parkfield College and the adventures and adversities they experience there. Above all they work hard, have fun and their friendship shines through. The subliminal messages of overcoming failure, of acceptance and support run through all the texts, alongside messages of resilience and perseverance.
The series is designed to support and extend the acquisition of reading skills, and the enjoyment of reading, through exciting stories and relatable characters.
Reading age 9-13 years, interest age 11+. Teacher notes to assist with the use of these books in the classroom are available here.

The books reinforce high frequency words and the core phonic skills needed to access basic reading levels. Each set provides stories which bridge the gap between base level schemes and longer, more challenging texts. They are suitable for readers who still need a formatted reading scheme and are not yet ready to go onto free readers, but who still want interesting, engaging, real-life books. They are flexible, so no matter what other schemes you may be using, these books stand alone, enhancing and extending any reading experience.
The books are available to buy as a complete set as well as individually. Follow the links to take a closer link at the titles.
