Series a introduces new words

Series b practises new words

Series c links to phonics and writing

Readers will gel the most out of the

Key Words reading scheme when they

follow the books in the pattern 1a, 1b, 1c:

2a, 2b, 2c: and so on.

The a, b, and c series are all written using

the same carefully controlled vocabulary.

The Ladybird Key Words Reading Schemehas three series, each containing

twelve books.

The 'a’ series gradually introduces and

repeats new words.

The parallel 'b' series provides further

practice of these words, but in a different

context and with different illustrations.

The 'o’ series uses familiar words to teach

phonics in a methodical way, enabling

children to read more difficult words. It also

provides a link to writing.

All three series are written using the same

carefully controlled vocabulary.
