"Bricks and Mortar":
Basic Reading Skills

DISKS Index

The full Bricks and Mortar system comprises 116 Disks (with accompanying
Notes pages) and 3 sheets of letters (lower case, upper case and combined),
plus 5 pages of Prelims which precede the Notes and Disks pages.

We're delighted to say that all 116 of the Disks are now "on line" so you can
try them out with your child/ren - either "non-readers" or those who are
having difficulty with reading and tending to "guess at" words.

Please refer to the Bricks and Mortar overview and the Notes Index for information
as to the way the Bricks and Mortar reading system is designed to be used.

Index to the 116 Disk pages is as below. Each page is linked to the Notes page with the same number, as well as to the previous Disk page and the following one. Each Disk page should print out onto a single page of A4, though in some cases you may perhaps need to adjust the percentage settings on your printer..

Plastic insert folders (for ring-binders and lever arch files) can be used for storing your pages (notes on left, disks on right) or you are welcome to laminate - both systems allow for the "wipe clean" factor. The front cover (which can be printed in colour) and the other four preliminary pages, can be found in the "Prelims" section.
