Haydon Abbey School and Pre-School

We plant the seeds and help them grow

Additional Resources

At Haydon Abbey School and Pre-School, we follow the Collins Big Cat reading scheme and the Little Wandle Phonics scheme. The Collins Big Cat reading books are ‘real books for real readers.’ The reading scheme is divided into coloured ‘book bands’ which are related to the level your child is reading. Class teachers will decide when a child is ready to move to the next stage of reading book.  

We strongly recommend the websites below where you can access and enjoy hundred of free books to read - there are audio books as well, just click on the Sub Headings below to a world of free reading.
