A set of stand-alone Glossaries accompany all Supported Reading titles within the Flitlit Reading Scheme.
The Flitlit Reading Scheme provides tiered instruction by means of supported and confident reading titles with the benefit of page by page, matching illustrations.
Parents and students learning English as a second/ additional language find the titles considerably beneficial, especially with school and online support.
The supported reading titles add further value to schools and homeschooling through the provision of the comprehensive, stand alone GLOSSARIES, set out page by page for the series. This provision was highlighted as satisfying a need during extensive pilot work at schools in the UK and beyond.
Additionally, the glossaries provide a valuable contribution to blended learning, through offering face-to-face and online activities, allowing a seamless and complementary flow of learning.
The glossaries support the Flitlit "Meet The Characters" Introductory Books and the Flitlit "Adventure Books".
The "Contents" pages within the Glossaries denote the Story Books in sequence.
Each Story Book page features text, image, and page number as highlighted below.

About the author
Eiry Rees Thomas grew up in Wales/U.K. among a creative family embracing a poet, calligrapher/sculptor, illustrators and a cartoonist. The coal-mining community where she spent her formative years was mostly Welsh-speaking, with the English language being introduced to the school curriculum at the age seven level. The musicality of the Welsh language is apparent in the author's unique lyrical voice, described in Welsh as 'telynegol' or harp-like, true to her Celtic roots. Her love of writing bilingually from an early age was given expression following a serious accident. This ended her career as a public health practitioner, peripatetic teacher and medical translator. Her experiences in the field of child development and the privilege of having worked with children and families with additional needs contribute to her work as an author and curriculum content creator.
