Hamilton's Group Readers
Group Readers are charmingly illustrated short books written to facilitate reading and comprehension progression from Reception right through to Year 6. Designed to share in groups of three to six children, they are available to download or buy. They will enhance any scheme of English!
Hamilton have written and produced over 100 original titles for early years, key stage 1 and key stage 2 children. Group Readers are matched to the stages of learning phonics and grammar and are a great addition to primary classrooms.
The wide range of books include fiction, non-fiction texts and poetry. Traditional tales and fables also feature. They are linked to Hamilton's English plans and blocks, but can be used with any English planning as an opportunity for children to read accessible, engaging and varied texts to help them develop their language skills. Some books even come with a free MP3 of the story being read aloud for younger children.
