LCP Non-Fiction Reading Cards are a motivating, flexible resource that will help all your pupils develop their non-fiction reading skills. Each card is rich with text, photographs and illustrations perfect for young readers.  Children will meet a range of genres and reading challenges, from timetables to letters and advertisements. The wide variety of themes has been chosen to appeal to both boys and girls and to reflect multicultural and global topics and issues.

"What would we do without LCP’s Non-fiction cards for the Foundation Stage?  What other materials would give us such a range of colourful, interesting and enjoyable topic investigations so economically?

"With 3 cards per topic per guided reading group children work in pairs for shared partner-talking with a variety of stimulating material which is child-friendly, has a mixture of photos, drawings and  stimulating questions;  always has songs and poems about the theme, and bridges so well the link between attractive ‘comic’ and detailed non-fiction book.  The subject matter is inexhaustible: we have always found something to match our topics and there is enough material on each card to satisfy everyone and they give a great start for new readers."

Marilyn Bowles, Jodie Bradshaw, Lucy Dilks, Foundation Stage teachers at
Willowbrook Primary School, Leicester.

These child-friendly reading cards offer your children the opportunity to practise skills identified in the NLS non-fiction reading objectives, across all the National Curriculum subjects. There are 50 different cards in each box, with three copies of each card, so that they can be used for individual, pair or small group work, as well as whole-class work.

Box FS of the Non-Fiction Reading Cards also features an accompanying CD which, as well as containing electronic versions of all of the cards, ideal for projection onto a whiteboard for whole-class teaching, has a number of interactive elements:

• an audio function, which means that each item of text is read out when clicked on, allowing young children to work on the cards independently
• 50 nursery rhymes, one per card, which are spoken or sung with simple accompaniment
• interactive puzzles, which the children can do on screen. The answers are also revealed on screen.
