Turning Pages is a fresh, easy way for adults to learn to read, at their own pace, one to one with a friend, family member or another mentor. Learning can take place anytime and anywhere, fitting in with everyday life.

Turning Pages allows adults to move forward through a set of 5 friendly, structured phonics based manuals. Each manual uses a variety of activities to give someone plenty of opportunities to build, practice and check new skills.

Everyone starts Turning Pages at the beginning of manual 1 whether they are completely new to reading or already have some reading skills. 

In manual 2, learners continue to practise letter sounds and blend them to make words. They will also:

• Understand how letters can be put together to make new sounds.
• Understand that some sounds can be spelt in more than one way.
• Read words with ending such as ed and ing.
• Read some words by sight.
• Read longer words and sentences.

Experiencing the joy of reading, and putting new skills into practice outside of the manual, is made possible by Turning Pages reading books. Developed for new adult readers, reading books are signposted as someone completes the progress checks built into each manual.

For manual 2, there’s 8 reading books, all linked to the skills someone has already learned. And at the end of the manual, a completion certificate can be downloaded from our website.

A typical sentence read by the end of manual 2:

‘I have seen a green coat that I want for her wedding'.
