The core of "Breakthrough to Literacy" is the Sentence Maker. By using the word cards from the Sentence Maker, children can build up sentences in the green plastic stand and read them back. The "tail version" covers letters such as M, N and D. "Tails" on letters help the move to joined-up writing. There is a teachers' version of the Sentence Maker for group work, a pupil's version for individual use, and a Mini Sentence Maker to make the transfer from the teachers' to the pupil's Sentence Maker less daunting.
