Real Reads – Reawakening literature: working with Classic Literature Retellings – A Guide for Educators REAL READS are accessible texts designed to support the literacy development of upper primary and secondary age children while introducing them to the riches of international literary heritage. The books can be enjoyed by able readers in middle primary, and allow older children with literacy difficulties to engage with great stories. The books are also useful in the teaching of English as an additional language. Accessing and sharing important works of literature is often a daunting experience. Jane Campion’s practical guide is designed to support teachers and parents in maximising children’s reading experience. It identifies a range of opportunities for developing reading skills, and for talking about books. It also suggests ways of developing readers’ appreciation and understanding of the cultural and social contexts of these classics of world literature. The guide is divided into five sections • plot and structure • language • character • context • themes Activities are designed to encourage engagement, strengthen comprehension, and to support the development of more complex skills such as inferential reading. For each activity there is an explanation of the activity with a worked example using one of the REAL READS texts, together with suggestions about how the activity can be extended for the more able. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jane Campion has ten years’ experience of teaching English Language and English Literature, and has been a lead teacher for English. She is a member of the English Association Secondary Education Committee, where she is currently the editor of the association’s journal for secondary teachers, The Use of English.

GRIPPING HI-LO READS FROM RANSOM

NEW!

INTEREST LEVEL 7-14 READING AGE 5-7

A series of levelled reading books covering popular non-fiction topics, with particular appeal to older readers. The 24 full-colour titles offer progression over four levels. Key features The six lowest level books, in Set One, have no words in them, allowing reluctant and struggling readers with the greatest difficulties to engage with narratives. The Set One books are also valuable as starting points for discussion and creative work. Set Two introduces a very limited number of words on each page, with Sets Three and Four offering a further degree of progression. In all cases the texts focus on high frequency vocabulary, with all words being phonically decodable wherever possible. The highest level Thunderbolts books have a reading level that is below that of Ransom’s popular Trailblazers series. As with the Trailblazers series, these books combine a non-fiction section with a fiction story on the same topic. Workbooks All of the Thunderbolts reading books are supported by workbooks containing worksheets specific to each title, as well as detailed teacher’s notes and advice on working with the resources. The workbook tasks are varied throughout, to allow a degree of progression as they are used.

SECONDARY LITERACY – TRAILBLAZERS

Trailblazers from RANSOM GREAT VALUE!

INTEREST LEVEL 8-14 READING AGE 6-7

FANTASTIC BOOKS FOR STRUGGLING READERS! “The choice of topics and content appeal to many. Boys in particular prefer street credible non-fiction and are drawn to the visual information. The fiction story is an unexpected bonus and a great way to encourage further reading.” - Victoria Crivelli, Worcestershire

Trailblazers is a series of books for older children, particularly boys, who are reluctant readers or are struggling to read. The books are beautifully illustrated in full colour, covering topics with high appeal. Each book contains a mix of nonfiction and fiction, beginning with an illustrated non-fiction section, followed by a fiction story based on the topic. The fiction story appears in two formats – one with simple texts for poor or reluctant readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated “speech bubble” version of the same story, for those who are just starting to read. Each workbook contains 8 worksheets for each title. The worksheets are graded, with 4 worksheets designed for pupils experiencing the greatest difficulties, with the remaining 4 being more challenging in both vocabulary and content.

All his friends and family call him Pig. Even the teachers. Pig is 12 and is small for his age. He has sticky-out ears and bright red hair which is also sticky up. He attends Coalpits Road High School (or ‘The Pits’ as it is known locally) and lives with his mum. Pig is small for his age, but says his mum is huge for hers. She is a single mum, but Pig says she looks more like a double mum or even a treble mum.

SECONDARY LITERACY – DARK MAN

Dark Man from RANSOM

A SUPERHERO FOR RELUCTANT READERS

Dark Man is a fiction series for older children and young adults aged 11 and over who are struggling to read. Meet the Dark Man, a shadowy, brooding loner who shuns society, living in the shadows. Recruited to play a part in a secret, cataclysmic struggle between good and evil, his continuing mission is to seek out an artefact, a Golden Cup, which can channel limitless power and energy. Opposed to him, and also seeking to find this cup of power, is a sinister and corrupt organisation, The Shadow Masters. Each 32 page paperback book features a self-contained story of between 200 and 400 words, with short sentences, plenty of repetition and a carefully selected vocabulary focusing on high frequency words. The text is laid out clearly on off-white paper (good for any visual impairment).

Each book is supported by full-colour ‘manga style’ illustrations to reinforce and supplement the text. Every right-hand page is a full colour illustration to accompany the text and assist comprehension. The stories are dynamic and use a variety of dramatic devices including changes of perspective and variations of cell size and shape. Teaching Guides Sample pages from Crash, Set 1

SECONDARY LITERACY – STREETWISE

Streetwise

NEW

FROM RANSOM by Helen Orme

A new series of fiction reading books wiht a particular focus on key PSHE (personal, social and health education) topics. The series is ideal for developing the reading skills of struggling readers at secondary level and above. But more importantly, it is a valuable resource for exploring difficult topics with students whose reading ability often hampers them with PSHE lessons. • The writing style has proven successful in engaging reluctant readers • Short stories enabling a topic to be covered in a single 20-minure lesson • Edgy black-and-white photographic illustrations make the books look age-appropriate • Questions, discussion points and activities relating to the story included in the back of each book • Low reading levels but gripping high interest-age stories
