Turning Pages Manual 1

+ post and packaging

Turning Pages is a fresh, easy way for adults to learn to read, at their own pace, one to one with a friend, family member or another mentor. Learning can take place anytime and anywhere, fitting in with everyday life.

Turning Pages allows adults to move forward through a set of 5 friendly, structured phonics based manuals. Each manual uses a variety of activities to give someone plenty of opportunities to build, practice and check new skills.

Most learners start Turning Pages at the beginning of manual 1 whether they are completely new to reading or already have some reading skills. 

Manual 1 introduces learners to phonics. They will:

• Match sounds to letters
• Practice letter sounds
• Begin to blend letter sounds together to read short words
• Read short sentences
• Read longer words

Experiencing the joy of reading, and putting new skills into practice outside of the manual, is made possible by our Write Now activity books. These books give learners the opportunity to further develop their practical skills in comprehension, reading and writing. All the books also feature a range of stories for learners to enjoy. And at the end of the manual, a completion certificate can be downloaded from our website. 

A typical sentence read by the end of manual 1:

‘The clutch on the van could be a problem.'
