It has been a long dark year. We have fought the Zeds to secure this world for our children. We are Platform 7. Platform 7 is a low level phonics reading book. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this fiction story features a fully decodable text, suitable for struggling teen and adult readers. Platform 7 uses a carefully limited set of letters and sounds to make up all the words. (For UK schools this relates to Phase 4 of Letters and Sounds, the UK Government's synthetic phonics reading programme.) Platform 7 is part of Ransom's Neutron Stars, a structured reading programme for teens and adults learning the basics of reading. The series offers 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.
