I have just remembered Letterland [and the Kicking King] which I thought was superb - the Ruth Miskin Literacy Scheme which I hated because the earliest story books were poorly edited and had errors in them!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-82532689494401380612016-06-21T18:09:53.745+01:002016-06-21T18:09:53.745+01:00I never knew that Biff, Chips and Kipper were nick...I never knew that Biff, Chips and Kipper were nicknames (although what parents would call their children Kipper, or Biff!) We used this scheme a lot. In my first school we used the Billly Blue Hat series - I never really liked them very much. I can't remember what scheme I learned to read on but I have a vague memory of books higher up the scheme "The silver book" or the "gold book" - HAH! I think it may have been "Through the Rainbow"Fat Dormousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061838276997211115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-80589314675199846512016-06-21T09:37:14.440+01:002016-06-21T09:37:14.440+01:00Words cannot express how much I love Biff and Chip...Words cannot express how much I love Biff and Chip xNearly Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594432566473391552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-21107482939382059412016-06-21T08:56:37.032+01:002016-06-21T08:56:37.032+01:00We used the Oxford Reading Tree, and it was a grea...We used the Oxford Reading Tree, and it was a great favourite.
