This scheme's six books introduces 800 words with the 15 key words of Book 1 repeated and carried forward in each one. The stories are Kate and Tom's adventures in make-believe lands with their dog, Sam, whose 'woof' serves as a turn over tone. Carole Boyd talks about the pictures on each page, introducing counting and colours, whilst Richard Bebb reads the text - e.g. 'Look at the fish in the water' - first at reading pace and then at normal speed. There are five book and cassette packages in this 'Read With Me' series, including a pre-reader, and they make very good structured practice for learners.
