Barrington Stoke books are commissioned, edited and designed to break down the barriers that can stop students making the jump from learning to read to loving to read.

Aimed at students with dyslexia, visual stress, or a simple reluctance to read, key features of each book include: • Cream paper to help reduce glare – a factor in visual stress • Specially designed typeface and spacing to make everything as clear as possible and to help students remember the shape of words and letters • Extra thick paper so that words and illustrations don’t show through from other pages and confuse the eye • Most importantly, stories are pitched at the ‘real’ age of the reader and not their reading age, including books by leading children’s authors – Michael Morpurgo, Andy Stanton, Jo Cotterill, Jeremy Strong, Pippa Goodhart and others – specially written for these series.

Literacy

Dockside is the award-winning intervention programme that features all the rigour and structure of a reading scheme aimed at much younger children, but written specifically for the older beginner or catch-up reader.

Using age-appropriate storylines and a systematic, synthetic phonics approach, Dockside offers older pupils who have not yet successfully learned to read, or for whom English is not their first language, another chance to master the basics.

Fully matched to letters and sounds ✔ Structured programme – makes it easy to see and monitor progress ✔ Engaging and motivating – builds confidence in even the most ‘switched-off’ ✔ struggling reader (especially boys) Clear teacher support – for easy lesson planning and high-impact sessions ✔

The World of Dockside Dockside is set in an everyday world that features a range of strong, engaging characters from the West End flats and surrounding community.

y flagged has a clearl Each book elling focus phonic or sp

Characters include both young people and adults, and locations such as Club OK (the youth club) and the flats are revisited throughout the series to provide familiarity and allow pupils immediate access to stories.

The Dockside reading books At the core of Dockside are 75 fully decodable reading books that support pupils in learning and practising key phonics skills.

Children move through the six structured stages as they gain confidence, learning new skills in one book that will be repeated in subsequent ones, embedding techniques.

The graphic nove l-style artwork and humorous st orylines will appeal to older students

Motivating Reluctant and Struggling Readers

By Stephen Rickard

From Ransom Publishing’s own literacy specialist, this book contains all the distilled knowledge and understanding of how to motivate reluctant and struggling readers that has proved so successful in developing Ransom’s books.

Children who struggle with reading often have a negative relationship with books and the written word. As they read less and less, their literacy skills are not developing and they fall further behind. This book offers practical activity suggestions to break this vicious cycle and re-engage children with reading in its broadest sense. Topics covered include: • • • •

Alternatives to books Avoiding ‘switching children off’ Using computers and digital technology effectively Developing generic strategies to overcome resistance to reading

As with other books in this series, every chapter is followed by specific activity suggestions.

Unlocking the Reader in Every Child

By Susan Elkin

Published 2010, this book is now the classic book on reading. It has received five-star ratings from teachers and is a book everyone working in literacy should own.

Drawing on best practice over the years and avoiding ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ fashions, this is a basic, quick-to-read guide to teaching reading. It is also extremely powerful in covering every essential topic clearly and easily, but with real authority.

It is incredibly practical and its clear layout makes it an ideal one-stop guide and resource. More than this though, it provides a toolkit with practical activities, games and ‘try this’ ideas to help develop reading skills and overcome obstacles.

Unlocking the Poet in Every Child

By David Orme

The definitive book for teaching and supporting poetry in the classroom.

David Orme is one of the most respected educational writers and children’s authors in the UK. If you are going to have one book on poetry on your bookshelf, it should be this one. This book brings poetry alive, putting it at the heart of literacy and giving you all the tools you need to help your children develop their knowledge of, and ability to write, poetry.

The first part of the book looks at the ways in which poetry supports many aspects of literacy by making links with other curriculum areas. In addition, it provides a huge variety of models for writing, opportunities to consider grammar and punctuation and to widen vocabulary. It provides value strategies for teaching poetry.

For long-term value, though, what you will really appreciate in this book is the range of free resources, including: • Over 60 differentiated poetry activity ideas, each with accompanying poetry texts to support the activity, which are all completely copyright-free and ready to use • An anthology of poems (again written by the author) to support poetry in the classroom
