The Village with Three Corners
This timeless series of 150 books, written by Sheila McCullagh OBE, author of the children's TV series Puddle Lane, is being "mapped" to help children read for pleasure earlier and with greater ease.
The Word Mapping Mastery Book includes the One, Two, Three and Away! teacher handbook! Learn how to use the books to promote reading fluency and comprehension.
Discover how to introduce the books with Mapped Words, order the regularly published titles, and watch as children quickly transition from learning to read to reading to learn—many achieving this through self-teaching!
Children’s reading for pleasure is associated with significant academic and personal benefits and is widely recognised as an effective way to leverage social change, yet schools often fail to fully harness this potential. With Little Mappers – Reading at 3, we aim to tap into the transformative power of early literacy to address inequalities and foster more inclusive opportunities for all children.
Through the Village with Three Corners, we create an ecosystem that nurtures a love of reading, encouraging children to engage with books in ways that build empathy, understanding, and a sense of belonging. This approach lays the foundation for social mobility, empowering communities to bridge disparities and strengthen connections. By fostering a culture of reading for pleasure, we enable literacy to become a powerful catalyst for meaningful, systemic social change.
