Reading Progressions
A completely new paper-based progressive work programme designed to enable teachinger assistants to teach all basic reading skills starting with the essential pre-reading skills. Reading Progressions includes carefully graded printable worksheets and extensive teachers’ guide.
Ages: 4 – adult
The work programme is based on the principles of synthetic phonics as described in the Rose Review of Early Reading, and designed to give schools all the supplementary material they need to ensure that all their students (from 4-adult) are presented with the age appropriate and skill appropriate work they need to advance their skills in reading. Progression is covered by tracking the following skills:
- Blending sounds
- Segmenting words
- Rhyming
- Short vowels and consonants
- BDP discrimination
- Reading CVC words
- Sight words
- Blends, digraphs and long vowels
- Other vowel combinations

Instructions in this typeface are designed to be read by the teacher – not the student. The assumption is that teachers will use their own words and check the understanding before leaving them to do the work.
Words in this blue text are ‘look and say words’ designed to be read to the student. They are not expected to read them themselves. Grey items provide additional clues to the students.
NOTE: There is usually more than one sheet for each sound or topic.
Some exercises require students to write sentences on the work sheets.
Teachers may prefer to provide paper for those exercises and help the students build a writing book.
A colour coded system is embedded – first time words in whole series are highlighted blue.
Teachers work from the colour version whilst students work on a black and white version (as they will appear in reproductions).
