Hauntings

Summary:
The Hodder Reading Project Level 4-5 identifies blocks to progression and takes pupils from National Curriculum Level 4 to Level 5. It comprises the Teacher's Resource, Pupil's Book and 6 Readers.



Reader 1, Hauntings by Susan Price. An anthology of gentle and accessible ghost stories. The main themes of the stories are the links between the present and a past which can be detected beneath the layers of modern civilisation. Most of the stories are set in the West Midlands and many are rich in atmosphere.

• Explicit teaching of reading skills that accelerates learning and boosts attainment in reading from Level 4 to Level 5.
• Systematically addresses the needs of pupils working significantly below Level.
• A flexible approach that can be used one-to-one, with small groups or as a series of masterclasses.
• Focus on active learning and pupil-centred approach - pupils identify their own targets and track their progress as they work through the scheme.
