Key Words with Peter and Jane uses the most frequently met words in the English language as a starting point for learning to read successfully and confidently. The Key Words reading scheme is scientifically researched and world renowned.
Book 5c provides the link with writing for the words in Readers 5a and 5b. Once this book has been completed, the child can move on to book 6a.
The Key Words with Peter and Jane books work because each of the key words is introduced gradually and repeated frequently. This builds confidence in children when they recognise these key words on sight (also known as the 'look and say' method of learning). Examples of key words are: the, one, two, he.
There are 12 levels, each with 3 books: a, b, and c.
Series a:
Gradually introduces new words.
Series b:
Provides further practise of words featured in the 'a' series.
Series c:
Links reading with writing and phonics. All the words that have been introduced in each 'a' and 'b' book are also reinforced in the 'c' books.
This book features in the following series: Key Words, Ladybird Keyword Stories .
. This book is part of a reading scheme, meaning that it is a book aimed at children who are learning to read. This reading scheme has multiple levels. This reading book uses the key words method. This method involves a whole word approach. Children learn words by their entire shape, rather than through their constituent letters, in much the same way that they recognise that the Macdonalds sign reads as Macdonalds. They receive lists of words that must be rote learned and then reading books use a high proportion of those words in their stories. This method is especially useful in enabling children to read words that do not conform to frequently observed spelling patters, such as yacht. It is also useful for words which appear very frequently and glue stories together, for example function words such as the, my; whilst some of these may be decodable, immediate recognition from rote learning can allow a child to make quicker progress through a story than through decoding alone.

Ladybird Keyword Stories
Key Words are the most frequently occurring words in the English language and research has shown that a few of these key English words form a high proportion of those in everyday use. The Key Words with Peter and Jane books introduce the key words gradually and then repeat them frequently, thereby building confidence in children when they recognise these key words on sight. There are 12 levels in the scheme, each with 3 books (a,b,c). Series a gradually introduces and repeats new words; series b provides further practice of these same words but in a different context and with different illustrations; series c invites children to try writing the words and introduces reading using phonics, allowing them to decode increasingly difficult words.
