This new level enables each story, from 11 to 20, to be immediately followed by a longer adventure story reinforcing all and only the sounds learned to date. The ten new stories were written by Jeremy O?Carroll, Fitzroy Programs Training Director. Since 2001, Jeremy has trained over 1000 teachers in the FITZROY METHOD. He understands the Fitzroy System intimately, and has recognised the need for an extra story to consolidate these early new sounds.

Readers 11-20 systematically introduce many new digraphs (e.g sh and er). Used together with the basic letter sounds (a for apple, b for bat etc.), they enable students to effortlessly decode large numbers of words.Readers 11-20 keep things simple and introduce only one new digraph (e.g. sh) per reader. This makes for sure and steady progress. Here we introduce the first 3-letter digraph (all). As usual, to aid memory it is used many times throughout the Reader.Some single-letter new sounds like y as in by or e as in he are also taught. This helps children read many common words.All new sounds (e.g. ar as in Mars) and special words (like space) are learned in the context of a story. This makes them easy to remember.

Fitztroy Maclean was one of the real-life inspirations for super-spy James Bond. After adventures in Soviet Russia before the war, Maclean fought with the SAS in North Africa in 1942. There he specialised in hair-raising commando raids behind enemy lines, including the daring and outrageous kidnapping of the German Consul in Axis-controlled Iraq. Maclean's extraordinary adventures in the Western Desert and later fighting alongside Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia are blistering reading and show what it took to be a British hero who broke the mould . . .

Readers 31-40 introduce the long vowel sounds (e.g. a-e as in cake). This single feature enables children to decode a very large set of new words.Here the first long vowel digraph is taught. Until this point, all words that contained them were learned as special words.Words are chosen to reinforce both old and new spelling patterns. Screwdriver, for instance, contains the new sound for Reader 37, ew, as well as er which was first learnt in Reader 14. This repetition helps long term retention.The long vowel digraphs are reinforced by a careful choice of vocab: e.g. Kate, cake & rake.At the end of each Reader, Some New Words include additional words that practice the new sound being learned.

Readers 1x-10x are 10 new stories, set at the beginner level (as 1-10). These were requested by teachers to provide children with more practice on simple sounding words before moving on to the next level (11-20) with its many digraphs.Without introducing any new spelling principles, the Readers 1x-10x provide more long words which can be simply sounded out.The printer?s a (a rather than a) is introduced in story 4x.There are hardly any new special words in the 1x-10x series. The basic principles of sounding out are consolidated with more sounding words and longer sounding words.

Peggy Fitzroy is clever enough to fake her way into King George's court in London, but is she clever enough to survive in his Palace of Spies?

Reginald Jones was nothing less than a genius. And his appointment to the Intelligence Section of Britain's Air Ministry in 1939 led to some of the most astonishing scientific and technological breakthroughs of the Second World War. In Most Secret War he details how Britain stealthily stole the war from under the Germans' noses by outsmarting their intelligence at every turn. He tells of the 'battle of the beams'; detecting and defeating flying bombs; using chaff to confuse radar; and many other ingenious ideas and devices. Jones was the man with the plan to save Britain and his story makes for riveting reading.
