First Aid in Reading has been designed to help many different types of reader: those beginning to read, those struggling with reading and those learning English for the first time. The Pretest establishes the student's starting level and the Program Book provides systematic lessons working through all major English phoneme groups and sight vocabulary words. The course teaches the 2500 most common words in English, including the Dolch list and the 400 most frequently used words in standard reading programs. The Activities Book provides revision sheets, stories and games to accompany the reading course.

Both books are highly illustrated, easy to work through and suitable for teachers or parents. First Aid in Reading is the ideal DIY basic reading program.
Students recognise that individuals and groups have both common and different attributes and that each individual may be a member of many different groups. Students recognise, appreciate and value individual differences and perspectives.
