Each group of twelve words is further divided into three sub-groups of four - so the children will learn up to four words at a time. Most of the words are also linked to a picture.

The 48 words are divided into four groups of twelve. After each group of twelve has been learned securely, the children are rewarded by reading for themselves a simple story which contains only the words they have been taught. So story one is based on just 12 different words, story two on 24 words and so on. There are five stories in all - the last story revises all 48 words.World of Books also buys directly from charities, taking the titles they don’t want or haven’t got space for.
