Comment from Peter Fogarty

Today I received this comment from Peter Fogarty, please take a look at his website http://www.free-guided-reading.com




Peter Fogarty has left a new comment on your post "New KS2 math worksheets": 

I am an International school teacher working in a private school.

For many years I have wondered why there are so many free children's books online, but no free reading scheme. I decided it was time I fixed this. I have collected together around 2000 public domain children books and ordered them into both year groups and then also into monthly reading groups. The idea being a group of children can follow the scheme throughout the year.

The big idea is that children can read these books on a Kindle, e-book reader or ipad at home. I have made sure all the books I offer are both free and come originally from well respected publishers. 

The website is called http://www.free-guided-reading.com

The colour scheme follows that of the rainbow.

Red - Year 1 books
Orange - Year 2 books
Yellow - Year 3 books
Green - Year 4 books
Blue - Year 5 books
Indigo - Year 6 books
Violet - Year 7 books

I am now really keen for everyone to use this site, to reignite a love to reading. Make reading more than just another phonics scheme (incidentally, the site also has a really great, free, complete phonics link too!).

Thank you for reading this.

New search features

I have added two search boxes to the right. These are customised Google searches for USA and UK type primary worksheets. On the UK search, you should find worksheets and materials for Key Stages one, two and three from sites based in the UK. On the USA search, it will be more orientated towards kindergarten and first grade.

Let me know if you find these differences useful, leave a comment below.
