no i don't think it's brilliant, but it does seem to work well for some students who need a lot of structure/and or students who are struggling with literacy. It is also good at getting the students to really think about what they are reading and therefore encouraging comprehension - reading with understanding of what they are reading rather than just reading by rote You know you have oodles of magnetic letters stashed away in your closet, or maybe they’re all over the floor of your classroom.

Did you know that magnetic letters are a powerful literacy learning tool? That’s right, you can create “gold nugget” activities right now that will help your kids learn the alphabet and other important emergent literacy skills. Letter Matching– During literacy centers, your kids can practice matching capital and lowercase letters using these magnetic letters and cookie sheet. there are lots of different writing exercises: hold a sentence, where students have to hold a sentence from the book in their head and write it, edit a sentence, build a sentence, and finally writing the story, which is their version of the story written independently and prompted by pictures (although recently the books have changed so this section has changed slightly).

They use ‘colour popper wallets for each band, and label these with the book name and number’. Then, they put inside ‘a teacher copy of the book, all of the Green Word Cards, a lesson plan and the story introduction’, as well as ‘all of the books they need’. If the children aren't progressing I would suggest that is more a result of how the programme is being delivered (i.e. not very well!) as opposed to the programme itself. No programme is perfect, but if you have a good teacher they should be able to get results.
