Kim likes pop. Sam likes rock. Sam talks A LOT! Will Sam ever stop? Not Pop Not Rock is a low level phonics reading book. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 149-word fiction story features a fully decodable text, suitable for struggling teen and adult readers. Not Pop Not Rock uses a carefully limited set of letters and sounds to make up all the words. (For UK schools this relates to Phase 2 of Letters and Sounds, the UK Government's synthetic phonics reading programme.) Not Pop Not Rock is part of Ransom's Neutron Stars, a structured reading programme for teens and adults learning the basics of reading. The series offer progression through ten levels of reading, four phonics and six coloured book bands. More information on the structure of the scheme can be found here.
