Readers 31-40 introduce the long vowel sounds (e.g. a-e as in cake). This single feature enables children to decode a very large set of new words.

Here the first long vowel digraph is taught. Until this point, all words that contained them were learned as special words.

Words are chosen to reinforce both old and new spelling patterns. Screwdriver, for instance, contains the new sound for Reader 37, ew, as well as er which was first learnt in Reader 14. This repetition helps long term retention.

The long vowel digraphs are reinforced by a careful choice of vocab: e.g. Kate, cake & rake.

At the end of each Reader, Some New Words include additional words that practice the new sound being learned.

本教材由Fitzroy Community School創辦人Faye Berryman及Philip O'Carroll在過去二十年期間研究發展。他們精細地創作70個故事讀本，書中只使用孩童能自己閱讀的生字。

每一讀本介紹一個新的音標如oy，和一些特殊的生字如said。

每一套各十本讀本，可搭配一本50至80頁練習拼字、基礎文法、和閱讀理解的習作（Word Skill workbook)。

Fitzroy教材同時包含習作解答（Answer book)及讀本1到50的CD。
