Why choose them for your children? 

The comics are superbly engaging.  

Children love the cast of superheroes and occasional naughty villain.  

We use colour to draw attention to the focus grapheme/s.  

The characters act as memory cues for the target graphemes. 

The comic book format offers a lower cognitive load for a child when reading.

The text really concentrates on high frequency words and common exception words. 

The structure of the comics

 The comics can be read as a set from start to finish or you can dip into them as you wish.

  • There are 20 comics in a set.
  • In Set 1, 12 comics focus on these single high frequency graphemes – a_e, ay, ee, ea, y (long vowel E sound), i_e, igh, y (long vowel I sound), o_e, oo, ou and ow. 
  • 2 Comics explore the tricky letters – soft g, soft c and le 
  • 6 comics are in a format called “phonics families” which show the different ways graphemes produce the same long vowel sounds.
