Reading 2000 Storytime: Storytime Teacher's Word Cards - Sassoon

"Reading 2000 Storytime" is a reading-based language programme for the Primary years, designed to meet the needs of the English Language 5-14 Guidelines, the Northern Ireland English curriculum and the English National curriculum. The programme is based on stories which have been especially commissioned from established and well-loved authors. The stories are all strong in storyline and while some are about distinctive characters in real-life settings, others concern the lives of imaginary people, enabling pupils to project into situations beyond their own experience. The pupils' readers consist of stories set in a variety of environments, illustrated to match the real-life fantasy and humour of the texts. They are designed to give cross-curricular leads through themes such as health and safety, starting school, moving house, planting and growing, ceremonies and journeys, and each reader takes account of multi-cultural and gender issues. These word cards for teachers are designed for use with Storytime. Sassoon is the typeface which has been used throughout Reading 2000 Storytime. It is tailored to closely relate to pupils' handwriting styles.
