Sails Literacy Series

Developed by Jill Eggleton and Jo Windsor

The Sails Literacy Series is the perfect resource for Guided Reading and Writing, Reciprocal Reading and Independent Reading. The engaging visuals and subjects will motivate your students to read for pleasure and for information.

Sailing Solos Series

The titles in this series will provide a valuable resource for independent readers, at the end of the Early Stage, who now require unseen texts to practice the reading strategies introduced in the Guided Reading session.


Sailing Solo will provide

• A stepping stone between guided and independent reading
• The encouragement of independent and interactive reading strategies (readability is below guided reading level)
• An introduction to the accessing and retrieval of interest words
• Focus questions giving children opportunities to think critically
• A take home reading resource that does not have to be introduced in a guided reading session
• Visual information for interpretation
• Extra reading mileage
• Enjoyment and success
