The activities in the book support and reinforce correct spellings of words within the context of the sentence, concentrating on the letters and sounds (phonemes) of words.

The workbook: contains 180 graded, illustrated model sentences. The learner reads the model sentence and tracks the words of that sentence in correct order; encourages users to check each phoneme using visual discrimination skills, proofreading skills; encourages users to recognise critical features of words— for example, shape and length of words, common spelling patterns, and words within words; supports the reading and spelling of high-frequency words and easily muddles spellings (sed/said), letter order mistakes (form/from, no/on, saw/was), and confusion over letter formation (dent/bent, bin/pin, bd/deb, met/wet).
