Notes In Essex Libraries we have lots of books that support children who are learning to read. We aim to complement the reading schemes that children use in schools by providing lots of well written and attractive books with simple text that children will enjoy reading for pleasure. These books help children develop reading skills and reading confidence. This document will provide guidance for staff and parents about which types of books will be appropriate for children at various stages of their early reading development. To identify which series will be most appropriate for the child you need to find out roughly how many words or sentences per page they are currently reading. Alternatively if the child is using the Oxford Reading Tree (one of the most common reading schemes used in Essex) at school you can ask what level they are on. Find the level or the number of words in the list below and you will be signposted to a number of series appropriate for the child found in the Ls and Ys. A: If the child needs: B: If the child needs: C: If the child needs: D: If the child needs: E: If the child needs: F: If the child needs: G: If the child needs: H: If the child needs: I: If the child needs: J: If the child needs: K: If the child needs: First Words; 2-3 words per page; Lots of picture clues One sentence per double page; Repetition of words One sentence per page One longer sentence per page 1-2 sentences per page 2-3 sentences per page 3-4 sentences per page 4 sentences per page 5 sentences per page 5-6 sentences per page 7+ longer sentences per page Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 6 Page 8 Page 10 Page 12 Page 14 Page 16 Page 17
