More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
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.
In book 2a, Peter and Jane are having fun at the beach in 27 new words including 'look', 'to', 'go' and 'yes'. Once this book has been completed, the child moves on to book 2b.
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 recognise these key words on sight (also known as the 'look and say' method of learning). Examples of key words 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

The second level in the reading scheme, continues to build the foundation that has been layed in the first level. We have fun, is very similar in format to the previous books, with clear type face that is now a little smaller giving the impression of a definite increase in difficulty to the child! However the first couple of pages mainly use the very familiar words from the start of the previous two books to boost confidence.
It works up from 12 words on the first page to 23 words on the last, introducing 27 new words. There is a high level of repetition throughout the book meaning that most of the words have made a definite impression by the end. In this book there are also sentances which use "it", "is" and "in" all together. This helped my son to consolidate the idea of "sounding out" the letters to distingush words so that he was quickly starting to sound out harder words, and by the end of this book had enough confidence to begin attempting to read parts of other non-reading scheme books.
Despite the simplicity, repetition and lack of a definite story line, my son has been keen to re-read the book over and over. The beach theme is also timeless, so the fact the book was written over 20 years ago seems to be reasonably unimportant.

Thirty five years ago our two children started to learn how to read with the Ladybird Key Word series. There are 36 books in the series, numbered 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, etc.
Both children were introduced to book 1,a when they were between 3 and four years old, and by the age of five were reading independently, long before they reached the end of the series. In later years, during primary school tests they both consistently scored a reading age two years ahead of their class average.
Now we have purchased the first nine books (1,a to 3,c) for our granddaughter, who is coming up to her fourth birthday.
These books are an essential purchase for any caring parent to make - and I believe are far better than any "modern" system.

I am not quite sure why these books work so well but they do. Although the pictures are 40 (?) years out of date the scenes I can imagine may seem quite homely and familiar to a child. New words are introduced slowly and there is a lot of repetition which helps a child build confidence. My daughter's reading is coming along in leaps and bounds and I would strongly recommend these to any parent who wants to help their child learn to read.
