Fast Forward Guided Reading

Fast Forward's highly visual and engaging titles are perfect for guided reading sessions with your less able readers. The guided reading texts are accompanied by audio files for modelling fluency, phrasing and expression.

Fast Forward exposes students to a range of text types which they can use as models in their own writing. Text types featured include narrative, report, recount, procedure, explanation, exposition, description, discussion and response.

The Fast Forward Fiction Books provide a variety of different styles and genres that appeal to students aged 9 to 14. Each features compelling storylines and clearly defined characters – some of whom recur throughout the series.

The Fast Forward Factual Books have all the components commonly found in factual books, such as contents pages and an index. Visual communicators such as timelines, graphs and fact boxes are used to deliver or further explain information.
