Lifeboat Read and Spell Scheme: Book 1

The Lifeboat Read & Spell Scheme (also known as 'Launch the Lifeboat to Read and Spell'). A highly-structured, multi-sensory scheme of lessons to help dyslexic children - and adults - to read, write and spell. Book 1 is for the beginner. It introduces the alphabet and distinguishes the vowels and the consonants in a series of individually designed lessons. This stage obviously requires teaching support. Later lessons focus upon the letters i, n, p, s, t, a, b and d, which give rise to blends 'sn', 'sp', 'st', '-nd' and '-nt'. Lessons 6, 8, 9 and 10 introduce the learner to the lesson format, which remains consistent throughout the remaining books.
