“I love this book!”

My student had just read a book fluently with outstanding comprehension.

She was grinning from ear to ear and asked if she could read another one.

What was this book?  

It is one of the Fitzroy Readers.

Part of a systematic phonics reading program which builds a child’s reading skills systematically.

Immediately she was willing to have a go at reading other books. These were carefully chosen ones that developed her reading skills and engaged her.  Books she would take home to share with her parents.

At school she kept working with the Fitzroy Readers.

This reading series is for establishing reading and comprehension skills systematically.

The Fitzroy Phonics Method is easy to understand, easy to use – and consistently gets great results.

It has been classroom tested in Australia for 20 years and helped thousands of students to well above-average results.

Why it works:

• Proceeds in small, simple steps
• Easy to use
• Systematic and complete
• Starts with stories, not theories
• Fun
• Frequent success experiences
• Gets rapid results
• Teaches all essential phonics building blocks (e.g. letter sounds, digraphs ['ch', 'th', etc.], sight words & spelling rules)
• Avoids rare and abstruse cases that are more easily dealt with as special words.

If you have a child who is struggling with reading have a look at the Fitzroy Readers.
