Pip and Tim Stage Plus 4

Little Learners Love Literacy® is a sequenced phonics reading program designed to

give children confidence and success. Each stage has 5 beautifully illustrated books

with real stories about Tim and Pip and their adventures.

Stage Plus 4 fits between Stage 4 & 5. It introduces the graphemes ll, ss, ff as well as

words with ‘s’ for example, dogs and runs.

Stage Plus 4 introduces a new recording feature that allows children to record and

hear themselves read. This is an important step in developing fluency, as it gives

children a reason to reread and record. Fluency is an important literacy skill

requiring accuracy and comprehension.

Stages 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 have professionally recorded and produced audio. However,

Stages Plus 4, 6, & 7 allow children to read and record themselves. Children are now

more confident readers and will benefit from this new recording feature. They will

enjoy checking their accuracy by following the words in the book.

Each book provides vocabulary and comprehension questions.

All words, except the Heart words, can be ‘sounded out’. To do this, children point to

each letter or grapheme, saying the sounds then blending the sounds together to

read the word.
