 Teachers and parents Tips for teachers and parents

• Some English words have silent letters, such as the ‹e› in ‘gone’, which are not pronounced when
Before tackling these Orange Level Readers, a child will need to be able to do the following:
the word is read. In these books, silent letters are shown in faint type. Remind the child not to say
• Say the sounds made by the lower-case letters, digraphs and capital letters shown below; the faint letters when blending the word.
• Match the lower-case letters to the corresponding capital letters; • The letter ‹s› is sometimes pronounced /z/, especially at the ends of words such as ‘is’ and ‘his’.
• Read (blend) regular words containing these letter sounds. Similarly, ‹d› can sound like /t/ at the ends of words such as ‘hopped’. Children do not usually have
trouble reading these words, but they might need some help and guidance at the beginning.
An important part of becoming a confident, fluent reader is a child’s ability to understand what they are
Letter sounds Capital Letters reading. Below are some suggestions on how to develop a child’s reading comprehension.
• Encourage the child to think about what might happen next. It does not matter whether the answer

• Pick out any vocabulary that might be new to the child and ask what (s)he thinks it means. If (s)he

• Encourage the child to summarise what (s)he has read.
