Introduction Engage Literacyis a comprehensive literacy programme that can be used with an individual, small-group and/or whole-class focus.The core elements of a balanced literacy programme have been covered, i.e., written language (reading and writing) and oral language (speaking and listening).The programme covers Guided Reading Levels1-36, and includes both fiction and non-fiction texts.

Engage Literacybrings enjoyment and humour to reading while providing teachers and children with carefully levelled texts. Through engaging and content-rich fiction and non-fiction texts, children will become active participants in their own learning and in the reading process.

TheEngage Literacycomponents provide bothdigitalandnon-digitalteaching and learning materials that promote differentiated learningso that all children can learn effectively, regardless of differences in ability levels. All components of the programme at levels 27 to 36 are built on the literacy skills and knowledge essential to children at these levels, i.e. oral language, comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and writing.Teachers can be assured that by implementingEngage Literacyin their classrooms, their children’s individual learning needs will be met effectively.

Engage LiteracyComponents

Engage Literacyis part of a larger comprehensive resource that adheres to key findings of the extensive research base that has been built up over recent years on the use of levelled readers in the development of literacy.The foundation ofEngage Literacyis based on many years of best-practice classroom teaching and the research behind guided reading instruction, comprehension strategies and literacy development for children reading for meaning. From comprehension and vocabulary instruction to higher level synthesising of literary and informational texts, the programme supports teachers as they help children move through a developmental progression by providing multiple opportunities to match children with text at their instructional levels. In addition toEngage Literacy at levels 27 to 36, additional materials are available for levels 1 to 26.Texts at these earlier levels use carefully graded vocabulary lists, and words are introduced and reinforced at a 1:20 ration. For example, the word ‘go’ is introduced at Level 1 and ‘going’ at Level 4. Children therefore pick up a bank of high frequency words, providing them with a smoother transition as they are introduced to these higher-level texts. Components at these early reading levels include: • Teacher’s Resource Book, • E-books, • Digital Posters featuring rhymes, poems, songs and charts for Levels 1 to 15, • A Comprehension Strategy Kit for Levels 9–15 that addresses the comprehension needs of children, • Oral Language Big Books to promote oral language and visual literacy skills, •Wonder Words books for levels 1 to 15 to support children as they learn their îrst 100 sight words in context, and • Wonder Words E-books.
