Quick60 Series

Quick60 is designed to teach students who struggle with literacy the basic skills required to become competent readers and spellers. Quick60 covers all aspects of literacy in a systematic and explicit way, including –

  • phonemic awareness
  • phonics
  • comprehension
  • vocabulary
  • fluency
  • spelling

Quick60 is suitable for students starting school who have very little literacy knowledge. It is also suitable for catching up, older students who are not engaging with regular instruction and are falling behind their age peers. The skills are written into the books in an authentic way. Most of the books are non-fiction so they appeal to older, as well as younger readers.
