The PM philosophy

The particular needs of young children is uppermost in the minds of authors, editors, designers, illustrators and publishers when contributing to the PM series. The PM philosophy is always a priority when developing PM resources and relies on the following principles:
Children learn to read well if they are encouraged to use a variety of skills, processes and behaviours, rather than a particular method or approach;
When children are learning to read they should be given materials that have been carefully crafted to meet their needs – books that give them, from their earliest experiences with the printed word, success, enjoyment and understanding

Every book in the PM collection has been shaped to support these twin tenets

The ingredients for pm’s success:

Careful levelling
Gentle introduction of new words
Clear structures to aid comprehension
Close text/illustration match
Natural language
Engaging content
Reading mileage
Characters
