KING STREET: Readers and Exercises - Set Two

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 Two comprises 10 reading books plus accompanying exercises PDF.

  1. New Neighbours
  2. Neeta Volunteers
  3. A Safe Place
  4. Dave Goes to College
  5. For Sale
  6. Becky and Will
  7. Locked Out
  8. Falling Out
  9. The Planning Meeting
  10. Dave Goes On-Line

The stories make use of existing characters but some new ones are introduced, moving into vacant houses in King St. Although some stories are considerably longer than those in Set One, they are illustrated to give the reader welcome picture cues. Word counts range from 111-205 words per book.

The accompanying exercises may be completed over several weeks. Most of the exercises will be familiar to users of Set One. Some of the original exercises have been omitted and replaced by exercises designed to develop reading fluency. Each group of exercises includes a set devoted to a particular aspect of written English such as apostrophes, homophones, consonant digraphs and compound words.

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.

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.

Brilliantly useful

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