KING STREET: Readers and Exercises - Set Three

King Street is an integrated, structured phonics reading programme for adult and teenage learners which can be used by trained teachers as well as volunteer and support staff. This carefully graded reading scheme provides opportunities for practice in all the underpinning skills necessary to produce a competent reader.

Set Three comprises 10 reading books plus accompanying exercises PDF.

  1. Save the Pub
  2. Send for the Doctor
  3. A Trip to the Vet
  4. The Party
  5. The Lottery
  6. Shane Wants a Girlfriend
  7. Steve Gets a Job
  8. Joy Riders
  9. The Pub Trip
  10. The Wedding

Each of the ten books features one group of King St. residents already introduced in Sets One and Two. The books are graded according to the complexity of the language and new spellings and structures are introduced gradually. Set Three has word counts of up to 400 words per book.

The accompanying exercises may be completed over several weeks. Some exercises will be familiar to learners who have completed the previous sets. In addition there are more demanding exercises which deal with particular grammar or spelling points. Sentence building features largely in these exercises, as does punctuation.

Accessible and visually appealing

I think the new styled books are so much better than the old, tiny green readers which are difficult for some students to hold. I absolutely love the glossy-covered make-over - these books are more accessible and they are visually appealing.

The perfect balance

We have a large number of students (aged 11 - 16) who have gaps that need closing or skills that need securing. We struggle to find books that will support them in re-engaging in reading without insulting them or upsetting them. Gatehouse books have got the perfect balance: non-threatening with exactly the content and reading level our students need. Students have read [the King Street Series] and felt a sense of pride in their achievements; seeing themselves as readers for the first time in their lives - we couldn't ask for more.

Superb for adult readers

I spent ages trying to find a good set of adult reading books. Largely they fell into two groups: the first were phonetically based stories that made no sense whatsoever and the second used so many different words they would be completely inaccessible to a beginner.

I was nearly at the stage of giving up when I found King Street. What a breath of fresh air! Beginning readers with simple, easy to access words that still dealt with adult themes. A wonderful set of books, which my ESOL group are thoroughly enjoying.

Brilliantly useful

We're finding the King Street collection brilliantly useful, volunteers and students are really taking to them.
