What are the names of the reading schemes?

[RunnyBum]

I'm trying to find out which reading scheme my DD has at school, as I can't remember the name. Hope your names will jog my memory!!

Un-inspiring?

Long?

Boring?

Sorry, hate my DD's school's reading scheme policy.

Oxford Reading Tree? (I believe it's the most common & 1 at my dcs school). Think Jolly phonics might also be done in some schools.

ORT - biff kipper (wtf?!) chip et al, yawn, magic key
Ginn 360 (ancient)
Collins big cat
erm.... what age?

oh, there's Oxford Owls as well, related to ORT (oxford reading tree)
had forgotten to include DK readers, I use those but not many do...

The reading schemes? Oxford Reading Tree, Oxford Reading Tree, Oxford Reading Tree, Oxford Reading Tree. Sorry, are you saying there are others?

my dc go to a primary that does ORT, as do 80% of all primaries...I must have done something truly bad to have been put through the weirdy biff and co's tedious antics three times

As far as I can see, Biff, Chip and Kipper are not actually teaching my DS to read. They're teaching him that reading is boring though which I don't think is quite the idea.

We've just changed from ORT to Read Write Inc at my boys' school but DS1 learned reading fastest when we didn't get reading books from the school for a few weeks. We decided to get him to read Dinosaur Cove books in their place which he LOVED and quickly started to read on his own just to see what happened next :o

Biff and chip must be responsible for many parents deciding to have no more DCs.
You can only face it a few times in your life.
I'm sure that's why schools get parents and grandparents in to hear readers it prevents the teachers and TAs exploding from floppy over load!

Thanks everyone, but I'm sure the teacher said something like Daffodil Readers?!? But I don't think that's right as when I Google it I can't find anything. I know it's definitely not ORT as she said they were phasing Biff and Chip out

Oh and she's in Reception (4.5)

Could be dandelion readers. They're very good. And they're 'decodeable' - ie they work with synthetic phonics.

There's the New Way - an older scheme with Meg the Hen and friends in the earlier books, moving towards a bigger range of stories later on. Phonics based, they've been around since about the 1950s when they were known as the Gay Way.

DDs school uses Storyworlds if that's any help

Rigby Star - (they're quite funny)

"There's the New Way - an older scheme with Meg the Hen and friends in the earlier books, moving towards a bigger range of stories later on. Phonics based, they've been around since about the 1950s when they were known as the Gay Way."

My sister and I started with Gayway at the end of 1960's early 70's. Apparently, having read rather too many sentences about the Big Red Lorry going up and down the hill full of pots and pans, my sister told my mum that she wished the Big Red Lorry would run out of petrol!

Well it would have made a far more exciting story! What would Old Lob the Dog and Jip the Cat and Meg the Hen have done then? Petrol is an easily phonically decodable word too!

Storyworlds, which is Heinemann/Pearson I think - DD has those in Reception. They're decent stories too, which makes a nice change from Biff & Co.

As well as ORT ds primary use 'PM readers' which I think is an Australian scheme.
With PM scheme it is levels 1 - 24 and different colours to ORT.

Thank u so much for your replies, especially Indigobell it was Dandelion Readers!
