About this ebook
Jud the Rat and his friends inhabit a series of phonically-based reading fluency books which are graded in terms of difficulty, and are provided with supporting manuals and implementation materials. The books, manuals and materials form part of Dr Charles Potter’s Reading Fluency Programme, which has been developed to improve reading, writing and spelling abilities based on up to date research and literature, while at the same time being entertaining and enjoyed by children.
This book and the other reading fluency books in the series are designed to be used with repetitive paired reading and with sequential working memory training methods. The materials and methods have been successful with a large number of children of different ages and different cultural backgrounds. Results on the programme have been published internationally, and these publications are available free online.
Dr Charles Potter’s Reading Fluency Programme is evidence-based, and online support is provided to users. It is also helpful to talk to the network of people who have used the programme successfully. If you make contact with me by email I can provide you with further information about the programme. I can also provide you with an illustrated manual to enable effective use of this book in developing reading fluency, as well as with additional materials to support your child’s reading, writing, spelling and learning needs.

Reading Difficulties, Spelling Difficulties, Rate of Work Difficulties
An estimated 20% of all children do not read fluently, affecting their rate of work and progress at school. Let Jud the Rat, Tom the Cat, Jill the Dog, Mrs Weasel and Doctor Skunk solve your child’s problems with reading, writing and spelling.

This book is the third book in a series. The books in the series are graded from easy to more difficult, on the basis of the phonic rules and morphological combinations used in the text.
The books can be used as stand-alone reading materials, or simply read for pleasure. They can also be set in large print and used to develop reading, writing and spelling fluency. In addition, the phonic skills embedded in the text of each book can be used to teach spelling rules and sequential writing skills.
I have developed a set of procedures and methods for developing reading, writing and spelling fluency, which are designed to be used with the books in the series. I have also developed other procedures and methods for developing spelling and sequential writing skills, using the material. Copyright in the text of this book and the other books in the series, as well as the procedures and methods used with this book and the other books in in the series, vests with myself as author.
