The Red Squirrel Reading Road series supports older primary school students to consolidate and master their phonic knowledge through reading age-appropriate engaging texts. The relatable fiction titles include characters that will appeal to older students and the non-fiction titles provide easily accessible information about varied topics. Reading Road can be used as an intervention series to give students who may not believe that they can tackle books written for their age group confidence in reading. It is also appropriate for all students who would like to reinforce their existing phonics knowledge with longer books and a larger word count. Each book includes teacher notes on the inside front and back covers which focus on some of the sounds and focus words in each book and provide suggested discussion points for after reading. Teaching notes and student worksheets to support each title are also available as free downloads from the Raintree.co.uk website. The books in Reading Road Level 2 feature simple and complex code including consonants, consonant digraphs, short vowels, vowel digraphs and trigraphs, and r-controlled vowels, as well as adjacent consonants with short and long vowel sounds. They are decodable by students who have reached the end of Red Squirrel Level 5 or Letters and Sounds Phase 4, and so can be used to support students that have been taught using a wide range of different SSP programmes. This is a Level 2 book. Do you sleep in a nest made of spit? How about on the river bank? Probably not, but some animals do. Take a look. People have lots of choices, too - a hammock on the beach, a chair on a plane or by the pool on a cruise ship. Where do you like to sleep?

This is a Level 1 book. We all need the sun. But it can get too hot for comfort. Sometimes we need to know how to be cool! Would you like to take a nap out of the sun - for three years? Or roll in mud? They are just some of the clever ways animals stay cool in the heat.
