Two years of research and development is behind Story Seekers. The books reinforce the alphabetic code as an integral part of improving the comprehension skills of struggling readers. They are the ultimate literacy support.
The books feature:
A wide phonemic and phonological scope and sequence
A phonics focus, reinforced by questions throughout the text and a language task at the end to build higher-order thinking and vocabulary.
Student comprehension is addressed in multiple ways:
High-interest text – each book connects to a recognised area of interest in students aged 8 to 12, so students can begin reading with knowledge of, and interest in, the text
Level-specific vocabulary – language is selected for a 7 to 8-year-old reading level to promote comprehension, while topics are selected for ages 8 to 12 to promote interest
Integrated literacy approach – the books focus on phonemic and phonological awareness and strong linguistic comprehension
Visual cues – illustrations, photographs, diagrams and maps provide cues for interpreting text
Independent literacy activity – each book includes an independent, low-level literacy activity to establish students’ level of basic understanding of the text
Activity book – teachers are able to extend literacy skills and make the most of each student chapter book, and reduce preparation time. The Activity Books contain six pages for each reader – two teacher pages for pre-reading and four photocopiable activity pages for post-reading.
