It then develops the higher order reading and writing skills necessary for genuine literacy at Junior level. "All Aboard" also provides a full range of genres and types of writing, required by the NLS framework, to which children can apply their various skills. It offers a wide variety of structured texts including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, plays, traditional tales and short stories. The programme provides support for teaching shared, guided and group reading and writing. The "Sam and Rosie" and "Pattern and Rhyme" books provide the following genre coverage: familiar settings; predictable structures; patterned language; poems; and fantasy.
