ELS Progress

ELS Progress Synopsis

This pack contains 6 copies of ELS Progress: Apply Book 1. This activity book lets pupils apply the phonic knowledge they are gaining from ELS Progress. Apply Book 1 goes with the first six Rise books in the ELS Progress programme. These are: - Epic Trips - Sheep - Hidden Riches - Spot the Animals - Help - Looking for Rainbows. The Apply Book's activities build on the Rise book that a pupil has just read. Varied activities provide phonics practice, as well as developing comprehension and vocabulary skills. In addition, new short decodable texts offer further reading practice. For example, pupils will read about the history of cameras after reading the book Spot the Animals. Or they will read about how to grow vegetables after reading the book Looking for Rainbows. The practice and application will firm up their skills and knowledge of sounds, and keep them progressing. All the text (including instructions) that is meant for pupils to read is fully decodable, aligned with the ELS progression. Text for children to read is also at the same reading level as the Rise book it goes with (Oxford Reading Levels 3-4). These Apply Books are made for pupils to complete with a supporting adult, but they also include opportunities for independent work.
