Doctor Skunk's Visit

By Dr Charles Potter

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.
