Trackers for Clicker
Age-appropriate reading for reluctant readers aged 7 or older, and perfect for English language learners too!
Trackers For Clicker is a joint Crick Software and Oxford University Press publication for children aged 7+ who have a reading age of 5+.
The series is based on the fiction books from Oxford’s Trackers structured reading series. Trackers For Clicker is particularly suitable for struggling or reluctant readers, and for English language learners.
The highly motivating stories are written at an age-appropriate level and use a variety of strategies to develop children’s reading skills. Alongside each story there is a range of Clicker activities, all based on specific literacy objectives. At word level, activities include practising high-frequency word recognition and phonic word building. Sentence level activities develop confidence in using the ‘tricky words’ from the story, whilst text level activities include extended writing supported by Clicker Grids. In addition, a range of comprehension activities cover both retrieval and inferential questions.
Trackers teaches more of the key reading skills than any other Special Educational Needs (SEN) course, including high frequency words, phonics, syntax and semantics, whilst complementing and extending the UK’s Additional Literacy Support and Further Literacy Support initiatives.
The are six levels to the series:
- Level 0: Bear Tracks (Starter Level)
- Level 1: Elephant Tracks
- Level 2: Frog Tracks
- Level 3: Giraffe Tracks
- Level 4: Parrot Tracks
- Level 5: Tiger Tracks
- Level 6: Zebra Tracks
Each Trackers for Clicker title includes four Trackers fiction books in an exciting, interactive on-screen format, plus a range of connected reading and writing activities. The stories provide struggling upper primary students with highly engaging reading material at a level they can cope with. The twenty-eight books are divided into seven carefully graded levels to ensure progression and maintain motivation.
Text-level activities include extended writing supported by Clicker Grids to help students express opinions, reach conclusions and relate the story to their own experience. There are also character studies covering the key characters in the stories, plus a range of comprehension activities covering both retrieval of detail and inferential questions. Students can even make their own versions of the Trackers stories, supported by the new Clicker 5 pop-up grids.
